Wtf can you even buy nowadays
1. Budgets
2. Pirelli for £1000000 a corner
3. Toyo Semi Slicks
Do you guys know anywhere I can get decent road tyres? T1R or similar?
Its 225/50/R15 for the rear, 195/55/R15 for fronts btw.
It's your best bet for a road car that gets used all year round without spending £200+ each for the Pirelli's.
The R888R is an excellent track / dry summer weather only tyre. It's hopeless in the wet or when it's cold.
The only other option is a Nankang. Never rated them, and the only one available is not even their 'performance' tyre.
IMO I'd go for a better quality tyre than the correct size.
Can you get Bridgestone RE003s in the UK?
I have them on my Toyota Blade Master G and they are phenomenal.
They are available here in a 195/55R15 and 205/55R15 (this different rear size is only a 0.08% difference in diameter compared to the stock rear size)
Keeps a stagger but you have a much higher quality tyre.
