Default What Tyres To Get Next? 215/45/17

Since early 2011, I had always used Falken FK-452/FK-453 tyres (and Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric before that) for my ST170.

The time is now up to replace all 4 corners and I fancy trying something different.

The tyres MUST have the following features:

* Very good grip in wet & dry.
* Displaces water

I'm happy to pay up to around £70 per tyre. (215/45/17)

Any recommendations?

Thanks all!

ultrac sessanta's?

I'm not gonna look if they're in your price range mind so that's maybe that idea out the window! I had them on my RX8 and rated them over the toyos and pirellis I had on it before that.

I've been reading up on Uniryoal Rainsport 3 - seems to be a big rave on how good they are with grip in wet & dry and less road noise. Only released about 4 months ago.

Has anyone got them fitted yet?

My cousin has them on his S14. He rates them!

I had the older rainsports on my RX8 and thought they were really good too tbh

£70 a corner isn't going to get you a great tyre sadly
