Quote from: "mrsmr2"I've ordered:
2 * 195/50 15
2 * 225/45 16

£347.70 delivered

Cheaper than my current AD05/06 LTS

I just checked the prices for PFL sizes the rears are 88.40 and the fronts are 93.90.
So thats more money for less rubber.

The 195 50 15 are so cheap less than £70.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Well Since buying my second MR2 all of a month ago, the two rear tyres have needed replacing as one was cracked and below the min tread depth, the other one was not much better, both were old bridgestones re040. The front two were newish yohahama parada's 195/50 15. Was looking to get bridgestones re040 but these tyres were stopped being made a couple of year ago at least.

So will only get old new tyres if trying for the bridgestones, so decided instead to get Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance in all the correct sizes eg 185/55 15 and 215/45/16 get great reviews the newer performance ones and should be around for a long time being a new tyre. Got the rear ones fitted at Halfords for £186, and just ordered the front ones from kwik fit mobile fitting at £128, so all in all by Friday I will have 4 brand new tyres all the way around for £314

Think i have those on the polo.
No causes for complaint.
Tyres are worth more than the car!

On my FL MR2 I have:
Yokohama Advan Neova AD08R
185/55 R15
215/45 R16
£392.82 including fitting through blackcircles.

The garage that fitted them though put the wrong pressures in so check before you drive away! They put 32psi all round  s:-( :-( s:-(  

Much less tramlining than the R040, and a stiff sidewall, I prefer them to the R040.

Slightly soft in the sidewall, but I have Michelin Pilot Sport 3 on mine, and it grips like a grippy thing. Not so confident in the wet as I find they lose a touch of feel. Not too pricey, but I believe they are being superseded.
