My tyres will be due to be changed in a few thousand miles and im determined to change from the factory fitted Continental Sport Contact 2 as i dont think there upto much so i always hear people reccomend Toyo's so are these the correct style:

Toyos (http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?show=1677)

VREDESTEIN (http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?show=12392)

Aslo , my tyre size is 205/50/17 can i change the wall height and drop it to 40 from 50 just i also like the look of the Goodyear F1's but they are not availabe for my tyre size. Should i stick to what come on it or am i ok to change the tyre spec?

Michelin Pilot Primacy HP from the factory on mine and they last forever, and grip pretty well.

michelin pilots are the way forward (and round corners)

20,000 on 3 of mine, one was replaced last week from a puncture. Still a fair amount of tread on the three as well. Will definately be getting another set.

ive had mine for 6 months and my front tyres looks like they need changing in a couple of months. I thought this was a bit unusual!

thanks mate, as per my first quote, the current size is 205/50/17 can i change the size of the wall you know to make them more low profile or would that upset the setup of the car.
