Newbie needs tyre advice

Post by suva1122 » Tue Sep 16, 2008 11:27 am

All,

I have just got my Exige S and its is currently fitted with A048's.

With winter and long wet days heading our way I was wondering what tyre is the best for wet condtions.

Cheers in advance for the help

Yokohama A039s are the best wet tyre by miles in my experience, but are not cheap; ToyoT1Rs are fine for wet weather and are less expensive, and ideal for winter. Welcome also.
