Good budget tyres i'd say, very good grip BUT they seem to wear out very very quickly from what ive experienced with them. And this was without the tracking being off.

If your looking for some decent budgets, id recommend Falken ZE-512's. They are not overly grippy, but they last bloody long too. I would say they have a good balance of both being budget tyres.

I was also going to buy some of these but decided to pay about Â£2 more per tyre and bought Toyo Proxes CF1's instead, they seem to get a better write up on tyretest.com

They will be ariving on Thursday of this week

My Toyo Proxes CF1's arrived 2 days early so i decided to fit them Wednesday night, pretty smart tyre, nice rim protector (no silly comments please) and they are great in the wet & in the dry, not quite as quiet as my Conti Sport's but with a price difference of about Â£40 per tyre, that wont be bothering me

So, so far so good. Well worth Â£40.30 a corner in my opinion (plus Â£8 for fitting and balance)

Just need to re-furb my BBS's now

I used to find with my yokos they were like glue in the dry but crap in the wet.
