Guys, need to replace front two tyres on my car, tyre size needed is 225 45 17.
Currently got some budget tyres but was thinking of going for Continental sport contacts 3 been recommended by alot of people.
Wondered if there was any other tyres you would recommend?
Any help much appreciated!

I use Kumho KU31
Previously enjoyed Toyos and Goodyear F1s but the F1s misshape over time.

a Golf mk4 gt 130. Want a tyre thats long lasting, good grip in both wet and dry and thats reasonable priced.
The continentals are coming in at £108 from black circles. Will be ringing some other tyre places today.

I keep bigging them up but Uniroyal Rainsport 2s have been great for me. Brilliant in both wet and dry, not far off the performance of EF1s imo but they're a fraction of the price.

My Mk4 tdi 130 keeps munching my fronts aswell so im also looking for a new set of 225/45/17's
Key points needed:
Very hard wearing
Good all round grip
Im thinking Pirelli

Pirelli P Zero Rosso's
In wet weather these tdi's munch the front
Another thing to do is look at buying alloys with tyres, nearly got a set with brand new conti's for £250 then sell the alloys on

Kumho's providing you can still get them. What I got on the Punto, same size too.
