I have 195/50x15 on my other halfs astra.
It is currently on TOYO PROXUS T1R, was on Uniroyal Rainsport 1, before that, toyo better in dry, uni way way better in wet, especially standing water.
best ever tyre had recently in 15" was GOODYEAR EAGLE VENTURA, my god they laughed at water, I am not sure they are made anymore though ?
I know toyo are very popular, and not bad price either.

There is a forthcoming tyre test in Autocar soon as well.
Problem is likely to be though that it will be 16" tyres up as generally most high-performance road tyres start at 16/17" sizes now rather than the 15s that Cosworths/RS Turbos came on, a consequence of performance car wheels getting bigger and bigger in diameter.
If it's predominantly dry use the Toyo R888s are pretty good in terms of "stick" if not progression, if it's mixed use there's not so much choice as in the 17s for really great tyres

Just looking through some tyre tests of smaller tyres, the ContiPremium Contact and Vredestein Sportrac3 seem to come out consistently well for all round performers.
I've got a set of Yokohama AVS Sports in 205/50 which are great in the dry but no longer available in that size.
I've also got another set of 888s in the same size which I used in the summer months

thanks for your input mike, I must say I was keen on trying the vredesteins after the review they got but as you rightly say performance car wheels have got too big!!
Might give the Vredesteins sportrac3 a try, 888's would be good for summer I suppose if I got a second set of wheels.

i had michelin pilot excalto's on my 3i and found them to be spot on!!!
also give fulda carat exceleros a try, heard good things about them for a middle of the range tyre.
obviously R888's and prada's will stick like baby shit to a blanket too.

Yoki should never have stopped the A008, they were awsome.
I used the Yoki GX501 on my mini but had to get sent over from japan, worth it though.
Anyone know when the autocar tyre test is out ?

very progressive, although the sidewall is a bit soft so they roll a lot. give good feeling though
