looking in to getting some new tyres for the speedlines, i have 195-45-r16 tyres on at the moment there firestones - been great i must say!

i want to got the the 195-40 profiles next though,

but what ones should i go for? + is there any makes thats best to go for within reason on the £cash price

been told these are a bit more then the 45's in price??

ive been told to keep clear from the toyos? (never had them to be honest so...?)

i like yokohama's i've had them before but dont last very long?

also is there any 40 profiles out there with like a rim protector type tyre and good tyre walls? they give a stretched sort of look...i think its falkens?? sure they do these if am right

spot on mate, am going to get the 40's next 100%

falkens,toyos,yoko's all all about the same price range? (the cheaper tyres)

then dunlop's,mich,conti's are the next step up in price ive only just rang a few place up, will go shopping via monday
