Can anyone recomend some very good wet tyres i can get for the front of the nova for winter?
It currently has some cheapo tyres and to be honest, there s*it lol

Im looking to get some toyos for my alloys which will be fitted in summer, so ill have the steels left for winter. Cheers

Rainsports are pretty good in the wet. I've had the Rainsport 1s on for a while and not got much bad t say about them.

Whatever you get, don't just replace the fronts, do the backs aswell.

Mine have seem some proper abuse lol
There nearly down to the tread limits already(i had them 1st week in Sept) lol

They are good tyres though, great for the money actually.

Think im going try some Yoko Parada's next as they look pretty funky.

Don't get Maragoni Zeta Lineas. It's a nice looking tyre but I have gone off them in this weather. They are great in the dry but in the wet they don't perform anywhere near good enough.
