Default Urgent - What tyres to get ?

Need to replace me tyres asap, 2 definately need doing ... but thinking about it, I might aswell get all 4 done.

Quesiton is ... what to get? Going through some sites (the search couldn't find any tyre related questions on PF) I found that stories had been told with some tyres but no-one had problems with them.

Its for standard S2 wheels (195/50/15), needs to have a decent life span as its used everyday and be able to use in all weather. A mate at work has Nexen tyres and has had no problems with them on his Sapph

That name sounds familiar. I remember some tyres that were recently in Fast Ford and they rated them pretty well (I think they looked at a lot before deciding) ... but I can't find the mag with the name ... but that does look familiar

Go for the Goodyear GSD-3's. Believe me, you'll never regret buying them. The absolute nuts in wet and dry, and have a hard as foooook tread pattern.

You'll be looking at about £40 each on-line for the size you want.

As soon as these cack Yoko's wear out I'll be getting me another set of G/Y's! Awesome boots!
