I run Yokohama AVS sports on mine and like them but they do wear quickly, the front set has only lasted 8000 miles and they are fcuked :x I will be buying those to replace them though as I like to have a full matching set of tyres :oops:

[srs1]

what about grip etc, i have heard that they wear down quick, but then it does state that they are summer tyres, so are designed for maximum grip.

They are crap in the wet, can spin the wheels in 4th and 5th at 40mph when the boost comes in but they are great in the dry and don't get much wheelspin at all.

if your going for 195/45v16 then go for the michelin. in this size they do a tyre called the exalto. beautiful! if you want a tyre that lasts then go for these but they aint cheap. but the more you pay the better the quality. and i like the toyo t1s proxes. :)
