Yoko A539s on the front, some old crap that came with the car on the back. One of them is getting a bit low on tread so I'll probably replace them both soon. I might not go with Yokos though, they're a bit expensive and I'd rather have less grip at the rear than the front

I've got these beautiful Continental ContiSportContact N.1 all round in 205/50/17's, damn expensive but by far the best tires i've ever driven with. The road holding is quite frankly immense, but damn they are expensive.

Just had to put a pair of Pirelli P6000's on the rears of my MR2 225/45 R17's. Not sure how good they are yet but other MR2 drivers have got on reasonably well with them.
Only went in to get the balancing done and there was a nail in one of them. It was sealed but I didn't want to risk it. Luckily there was only about 1mm legal tread left so would have had to replace them in a couple of months anyway. |

Dunlop SP Sport 9000's, 205/50/R16 all round. Seems it's what was on the car from new and the previous owner just kept with it.
Which is annoying, becuase they are £88 a corner from Mytyres
