Toyo Proxes T1-R
Bridgestone Potenza G3
Michelin Precedas PP2


My pick would be PP2's or T1-R. G3's are pretty average from what I've heard, even with other cars.

C-drives are great tyres. Have then on my parent's Accord Euro and they are sticky. I use to take it around the twisties for laughs, and the porka felt really confident. At $200 a tyre for 205/55R16, I though they were priced ok too. Just be aware that these tyres really need to scrubbed in cos they can get a bit slippery at the start. But after a few hundred km or so, they really start to bite.

Just returned from a hillclimb at Phillip Island, where we \"ran in\" both the C drives and the S drives. Both sets performed very very well. The run in period lasted about 1 lap, after that they stuck like glue, even after the track was wet after heavy rain, the grip was brilliant.
Sadly MX5 less for a while.
