Interesting the deals on 255/60/15s if you go up 2x sizes on the rear!

And Hoosier do do a street radial I see.

can't believe how expensive 168 mph Pirelli P600s are in 235/60/15!

Righto, thought i would update you on what i ended up doing. Went with 215 65 15's as they are the stock tyre size and also a more popular tyre size so much better priced. I went with UniRoyal Rainexperts which have an excellent rating for wet weather, vs. the 'careful with these tyres in the wet' that you normally get with Cooper and similar white lettered tyres. I also had to get new tyres for the clio, went with Uniroyal Rainsports, got both cars (8 tyres) and fitting and balancing etc for under £400. Very pleased with the Clio's handling now, feels like a much different car and with the recent wet weather was very good on the roads this morning and didn't aqua plane once on the usual backroads that used to be a lot more scary with the old cheapo tyres.

Should have also mentioned that the 215' 65's are for the new vehicle... '87 Trans am :wtf: Don't worry, i'm still keeping the Camaro and working on it as we speak. The Trans Am is going to be the new daily driver. It's all tax'd and MOT'd etc, will sell the Clio once the TA has it's MOT next month, just to be sure.

I've been a little quite on the forum recently as the TA, the Camaro and job searching / prepping for interviews etc have all taken their toll!
