Just had a 'spirited' drive:D

i have come to a conclusion that the tires that my mini came with, eagle nct? arent that brilliant. 20 minutes of hard driving and it started squealing around every corner at all speeds, and the grip around roundabouts was shocking, i could feel the car sliding over all the time.

when these tires are done with what ones do you reccommend getting. mind you, that squealing did sound pretty cool, i had my both windows down and , but id much rather have the grip.
are toyo proxes any good, everyone seems to have them?

Yokohama Parada Spec 2.

Nearly the same grip as semi slicks in the dry (I had Dunlop DO1J's before). Far better grip in the wet than semi slicks. If you do exhaust the grip they let go in a nice prdictable manner. Just as good hot ot cold.

The best tyres I've owned by far.

It was acceptable in the 80's
