    get what you can afford. Try not to go budget.

    Dont get a winter tyre unless you intend to drive in snow and then just get proper snow tyres not crappy mud n snow. you will want another set of rims for them...this is what I intend to do and I will be gettin 14inch maxsport alaska 2s.

    Jack_P, what are the Paradas like in the wet? I've heard they have excellent grip in the dry but not good in the wet.

    In all honesty they were a little bit lively in the wet but that was only if i was going to push it, normal everyday driving i didnt have a problem but then again they would understeer in the wet now and again!

    Just replaced my 2 front Bridgestone potenza's on my mk7 ZS (11,100, damn ex demo car!!) with Kumho KU31, fitted for £59 a corner from blackcircles.com and delievered to a local tyre fitter.

    Absolubtely fantastic for the price, nice mid range tyre. Better then the bridgestone in the wet, superb all rounder.

    My eyes watered that ford wanted £129 per tyre for the Bridgestone, and £113 from Blackcircles.

    Two things you should never skimp on, tyres and brakes.

    Totally agree. If you enjoy chicking your car about get some sticky tyres. It would be a shame to get cheap ones and spoil the fun of the car

    I've used the paradas on a civic type r before and was happy with wet or dry, run them in well and keep the pressures correct, they will be fine.
