I've had Toyos on the corsa since I got it, with T1Rs, S's and px4's. The Toyos are brilliant in the dry but pretty gash in the wet.

Been looking at Eagle F1s, but I'm looking at about an extra £15 per tyre. Are they any better in the wet than the toyos?

What else do people like?

I don't know what the toyos are like but I've got Eagle F1s on the front of mine and I'm well impressed with em, I had Yoko A539s before and they were crap compared to the Eagles

Go for the Goodyear Eagle F1s. Big step up from the Toyo's in my experience. That was on my old Corsa B.

Run Michelin Pilot Sports on the A3 though and rate them even if they are a bit expensive.

The Uniroyals get good reviews after doing a quick google search.

Where do people get these cheap? Saw them for about £50 a corner, this about right?
