What are your needs? High performance/cheap as possible/long life?

Also try doing a search as this has been discussed a lot already.

I hear good things about Hankook and Falken for budget performance tyres.

DuncVolvoTurbo · Jun 9th, 2009, 01:05

I have put these on my 854 Turbo: 205/50-16 87V FALKEN ZE912 ASYMMETRICS

The are a really good tyre in wet and dry conditions, just need to see what the wear rate is on them....but on a these cars, it is never going to be great

I bought mine from eBay, but the seller has upped the price by £50 so I won't recommend them......but you should be looking at under £250 fitted (if you shop around).

Ask your local tyre distributers about "Nexem" tyres.

I have them on my V70R,,,,,they meet all the specs and retail around £60.

Have you? I could show you my bald Falkens after 4000 miles of driving. I can't even blame the Rica because I've been uber careful

Disappointing as they have a treadwear of 300 which is decent and they grip pretty well too.
