Need new tyres! Help!

[Stubonez]

Hey guys, i recently purchased my clio 200 and it came with brand new "event" budget tyres.. Seem ok for daily driving but i went on a track day at brands hatch and the track was a little greasy/wet and my god they were terrible.. (what i expected)

So i've been looking into tyres (looking at around £75-90 per corner) and i've narrowed it down to 2 tyres.

My first/favourite choice are Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2's £83.60 per tyre rated A for grip dry/wet and have many 5/5 reviews all saying amazing grip for track and everyday use.

Second choice which someone with a 200 highly recommends are Kumho Ecsta Le Sport KU39's
Reviews also seem to be very good on these.

Could anyone help or recommend tyres that offer great grip wet/dry on track but can be used as a all year round tyre.

Thanks!

Nankang have good reviews, sold by a trader on here [MENTION=1272]Fernandez[/MENTION]

When my tyres die I will be getting these.

I've heard so many mixed reviews on Nankangs.. that's the only thing stopping me from getting them!

Well there not so good in the wet, is the only the ive heard about them. But for 70-90 budget your going to struggle getting something fantastic in wet and dry grip.

I've heard these Eagle f1s are pretty good in dry/wet though.

Get them then mate

Was just giving you an option. I personally have a set of winter tyres which are awesome in the winter/wet. Is why im not bothered about getting nankangs for the summer!

I have them on my car, those who attended the Welsh drive can vouch for how they handled the Welsh roads [emoji6]

the NS-2R's are fantastic unfortunately a lot of people confuse them with the NS 20 which is a horrendous tyre. As mentioned by Chris the dry grip is amazing but obviously the winter/wet grip is comprised by this.

Eagle f1s are great road tyres, good wet and dry grip. I used them for a dry track day though and they would over heat and go off after three laps or so of use (at brands also). I'm running them for road tyres and have a separate set of wheels with some nankang ns2rs for track days!

So it depends on what you care about the most, I suppose with the winter months coming eagle f1s are probably a good choice then change for the summer months can't comment on the ku39s but I had some ku31s on an old car and again they were a good road tyre

More than happy with my Falken ZE914, great in wet and dry road use.
