I need a new set of front tyres for the daily driver. It's a (fast) FWD diesel.

The original tyres are Dunlop SP SportMaxx at £129 each.

Tempted by either Yokohama PARADA SPEC 2 @ £112 each or the Toyo Proxes T1-R @ £108 each.

Trouble is, I'm worried about the wear rate on the softer tyres. Which may cut the life of them down, meaning I need another set earlier!

Any recommendations?

Mike

Nope @ £155 each in my size they are significantly more than I wanted to spend!

I put toyo T1R on my citroen xsara they were cheap to about £40 each!

Ive had pradas on my type r. Very good in the dry. Crap in the wet.

Swapped to "michelin pilot exaltos " on my Puma and they made a big difference. No sold it but would fit them again.
