Caterham go up to 215/55r13 on a car thats probably 150-200kg lighter than most robin hoods.

Old school old bloke thought, as Tim said above & I have practised on all my cars --- if the rubber is just warm the tyres are doing their job.

I have 195s on my lotus, rears have hancock and fronts are verds, difference in makes was because i like the grip the verds give in all conditions. You can really attack corners and feel them work. The rears i like to be a little loose on the limits, just so you can feel the onset of a breakaway. The verds were actually too grippy for this.

As theyre getting close to being replaced im looking at bridgestones, another really good make and depending on style/compounds they can be progressive in feel. Nice prices atm too.

Quick update, the cars now wearing Rainsport 3's and I've got to say they are big improvement over the old yokos. They feel softer on the road in a good way the rubber feels more compliant like its doing something. Handling feels good and grip is good, we'll have to wait and see what they're like in the wet.
