I fitted a set of Clio Williams wheels to my 172 Cup that had Yokos fitted and I would agree with the above. Going from Continentals to the Spec 2s made it feel like you were driving on ice!

Great wee cars.Had 2 of the later 182s and my brothers on his 3rd 172 just now.Bang for buck you can't beat a sporty Clio I don't think.As long as you get a well looked after one that is.

Not sure on the older generation but a set of Michelin pilots transformed my first one,unbelievable the difference a good set of tyres can make to a car.

Thanks guys ... yea I'm thinking of pilots or Ad08's as I've had good times on both ..I'm not sure if it's because this car is light that the spec -2's work well ..not sure but to say there nearly dead and still make the car handle very well ..I'm unsure .

Definitely bin the Spec 2s. My 172 Cup was on Conti Premium Contacts before and it was a LOT better.

Nice looking motor, to be fair Renault do seem to know how to make a good hot hatch, where abouts in north Wales are you these days? Got family dotted all over so I know quite a few places.

For just road use then Michelin PS3s. If it's occasional track use and like me, you can't be bothered with another set of wheels, then AD08Rs are a great choice mate. I'm hillclimbing on them too next week. Based on when you sell and how much, I may be interested in adding it to my two.

Was standard when I got it. I got a K&N. Full stainless system. Lowered it and fit the wheels. Did 18,000 mile in it problem free.

Then this happened just after I sold it to a mate

Ah right up that way, got family in Ruthin which aint too far from there, there's a great selection of back rods in that area! You're spoilt for choice up there, ideal playground for that car.

Great little cars.

I had a white valver back in the day.

Reliving my youth now with a Williams which keeps the series 2 company.

Would love another valver though. Let me know when/if you decide to sell as I will most probably be interested
