Hi All
I no there are a few similar tyre questions on here, but I’m thinking of changing my tyres because of constant wheel spinning when racing off the lights. I don’t given have to give it full power and it will still wheel spin and it’s not like I’m pulling out the clutch to quick either.
So what can you recommend, I want something that’s good in the wet as well as in the dry….
Many thanks people!!!

Toyo Proxes T1-R are the most recommended on this site for the  They are great tyres. P.s I'd change your type to "pulling off the lights" as mr plod  view these sites.

I've got got a set of Avon ZZ3's and they're far better in the wet than the PZeros.
I've not been pushing it and won't until they're scuffed up a bit, but all I can say is the little Fez feels like it has a spring back in her step. It feels more nimble without being twitchy and I'm a lot more confident in the corners again.
The PZeros were fine when new, but I get the feeling that they faded/degraded with miles and the tred pattern didn't favour wet weather.
Also..... the ZZ3's have kerb protection and were the cheapest tyre I could find at £70 a corner, fitted and balanced. It will be interesting to see how they hold up with increased miles.

All depends on where you go. I paid £89.99 + VAT each for mine, this includes balancing and tracking at a place called SuperTyres in Maldon. But i think i got discount because i put it on the company account

After reading all the reports I'm going for the Toyo's. Will be having them fitted Friday (18/01) at Wootton tyres and exhausts, Northampton. Cost £70 each all in.
Rob.

Hi,
Tyres fitted today. Even before rubbing in, they feel so much better, and it's very wet here! Tyres are the new tread pattern Toyo T1R (PX4)
Mind you the Pirelli's were fecked!
Will update again, after the tyres have been scrubbed up with views on wet & dry performance.
