Who is using what tyres these days? Needing some for the nova in 195/40/16 and dont know what to go for. All weather tyres, good brand and dont mind spending a bit for the right ones.

yeah i had 40's on mine they look alot better than 45's, make the wheel look bigger aswell. mine were continental sport contact 2's, they put the power down not to bad. ba5tard still spun like fcuk tho :cry:

well i got mine for 240 for 4 off my mate that works at saline motors so i got them a bit cheaper. big chaps got 40's aswell not sure what make but knowing him it would have been the best he could get. 90 quid each for his i think, not sure.

I'm Goodyear F1's and Excellences and both are great, but to fit those you'd have to go for a 195/55R16 size. http://eu.goodyear.com/uk_en/tires/repository/Excellence/index.jsp?page=sizes

You can get F1's in a 45 profile though but not a 40: http://eu.goodyear.com/uk_en/tires/repository/EagleF1GSD3_2/index.jsp?page=sizes
