For the Coupe.
I've gone for Falken FK452 which seem popular on a lot of one-make forums and more specifically on the Fiat Coupe forum.

It's not really been wet enough to test them properly compared with the utter shite that came off but I did manage a fairly huge 2nd gear wheelspin in the 40 zone on Dunkeld Road in Perth.

My excuse was that I'd accidentally driven into the Ford garage and had to get away ASAP

Looks like I'll be able to give them a proper test tomorrow

I rate them..but you already knew that.

Give them a couple of hundred miles too scub in ...Then see what folks were on about reference the 452'S.

Have a pair on the front of the 328 based on recommendation from here. Not been tested in earnest though. I think Proxes would be better but wear quicker.

Weirdly it's been dry and sunny since I got them although it's rainy today but I don't expect to go out.

My only disappointment so far is that the tyres don't have a decent rim protection strip.

That on the Federals stuck out a good centimetre.

I know the tyres already have more dry weather grip
