I must admit after the Honda European Tour 2006, I really do like the OE potz now, even in the damp they gave me alot more grip than i thought they would, mighty impressed. Mind you, they were nice and warm from all the mountain roads we've been doing :lol:

For the winter time I went for two pairs of Dunlop WinterSport M3 and they handle gorgeous in mud as well as on ice/snow. Even when driving in a sporty manner, the car still has her natural "way" :twisted:

Ive got goodyear eagle f1s, i find them good to be honest. i use 215/40/17 got them for 350 quid for 4 tyres balanced weighted and fitted.

I think that there good in dry when roads are pukka, maybe not the best in the wet, but to be honest i dont drive like colin mcrae when its wet, know what i mean.

when i brought the car it had bridgestones potenzas fitted but they were well worn down so i can comment really. seems like everyone elses like them though. :thumbup:

do a lot of people use 215/40/17??? i use that instead of 205/45/17

Yokohama Advan Sports 225/35/19. They are really good in the dry, have okay wet weather performance but not great. But very expensive compared to compeitition.

well, started with firenza's (previous owner put them on to pass MOT) after various scary moments involving the rear end disconnecting from the road i decided to change them!
as a big fan of TDi-North's work i went for the parada spec 2's (if they're good enough for a 900hp civic they're good enough for my standard one!!) - went for the 215 40 17's and i must say i am very impressed by they're performance in wet and dry conditions, the back end stays attached to the road and i have far less understeer, not to mention they have the best looking tread pattern!!!
got them from the lk performance shop on egay for 266 squid delivered (which i think is not too bad, quick delivery and friendly staff too i found)

i think the parada's should be an option on the poll as a lot of people on here seem to have them and have good things to say about them.
