Spec me two front tyres

Hello chaps,

I'm in need of two new front tyres in 165/65/14 T, can anyone suggest a few to look at?

Choice in this size is pretty woeful, i have Avon Cr322 on the back with loads of tread left and the car in question is a Clio.

Thanks all.

goodyear duragrip, conti premiumcontact and pirelli p3000 seem to be the "main name" choices

May as well stick with the same.

I fancy something different so don't particularly want another set of cr322, does anyone have experience of the Continental Premium Contact 2?

On a Clio?...at that size seriously just stick with the Avon's.

The difference in price between the two is tiny, so why not.

With that sort of size... i'd suggest looking at Falken / Toyo.

Comedy option. Buy some bigger wheels.

Had to do this when I was a youngster driving a manky old Escort as 13" tyres were getting rather rare and expensive.

We have them on the clio, and find the grip and wear very good, although we have not tried another brand on there as this is what came with the clio.

Thanks for the info guys, it's between the continental and the uniroyal rainexpert I think. Much obliged.
