    Plenty of respectable tyre manufacturers there!
    Damn you and your scientific ways

    My bad. However kwik-fit didn't have any decent tyres in the list, so i had no real choice either way. And it woulda been 40 pounds more for the dunlops and more for the rest.
    Tough on mirrors, tough on the causes of mirrors.

    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.

    Mickey Thompson Rears, Goodyear fronts...
    Rears should last 3k (if im lucky) and come in at around £310 each - the price I pay for 'stickiness'

    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
