i voted uniroyals as i have them on mine and they were only 40 fitted

and for the price they are really good especially in the wet :lol:

I am also looking at buying some tyres. I looking at some Falken FK451's I run them on one of my other cars and they hang on well. The only problem with these is that they are quite soft and wear fast. Which I don't mind because they are cheap and perform well.

I have uniroyal rainsports on my Nova and they seem to hang on ok around the track, but they squeal at every opportunity.
