Default What tyres you using

I have just had a pair of uniroyals fitted to the back of my car and it now feels dangerous to drive, so looking for a change. Was thinking Falkens or toyo proxes

Cheers PaulT

It pains me to say it, but Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's are superb. Easily the best tyres I have used yet.
