Need 4 new tyres. Are these good for FWD cars?
The conti's on it are £200 a corner, these are only £118.....
Any other suggestions?
A few people on Pistonheads (iirc) say they are a better alternative for the price you pay. I think they were referring to e46 M3's!

The 350z boys rate them pretty highly. As do a fair few on PH.
For a mid range tyre they seem to be about the best!
Obviously much better ones out there still but I am buying a set for the Zed this week
