Tyres for a standard 16" vRS wagon

[actionslax]

My rears have finally given in to the cracking and I had to leave my wagon at the bus stop today.

 

I bought a set of Falken Ziex ZE-914 Ecorun 205/55 R16 W (91) 6 months ago for the fronts (£69.49 each) but they're pretty disapointing in the slippery cobbles and roads of Edinburgh. I only do town driving.

 

Any recomendations from any recent buyers?

There's no such thing as a good tyre for cossies IME, more so these days when they only ever get polished by other tyres.

 

As a point of interest, what make are the cracked tyres on the back?

Looking on Blackcircles there are similar/better options than the Falkens for less than you paid:

Goodyear Efficientgrip Performance

Dunlop SP Sport Maxx RT

Hankook Ventus S1 Evo

Uniroyal Rainsport 3

Pirelli P7

 

Out of those I would probably go for the Goodyears, showing as £64.99 fitted for me. Blackcircles do a referral scheme so if I refer you then you can get 5% off.
