I did quite a bit of research on tires for my Escort after Uniroyal stopped producing the Rallye 340, this was the ideal tire for my "on the edge" driving; excellent grip, dry & wet, and utterly dependable & predictable; barrelling into tightening mountain roads in North Wales knowing the tires wouldn't let go. The Yokohama A539 is very similar, possibly better when braking very hard in the wet.

Just before the recent price hikes I bought another set as spare.

TBF I only drive the car when there is zero salt on the road.

Thoroughly recommend the A539.

One of the best Classic Mini tires available. These are currently on a 1380 Supercharged Mini running negative camber arms and adjustable suspension. They are around £10-15 more than other tires but remember that a classic Mini has no ABS, no power steering and drum brakes at the rear so good grip is essential.

Good all rounders imo, rear tires still have loads of rubber left, very pleased with them :). I've used the same brand for around 11years and lost more than a few people in the corners in that time ;) lol.

Got these cheaply in a special offer, had them before but not on anything quite as quick as current car. Decent grip once warmed up but when cold or in the wet I can lose traction very easily and spin up the wheels quite easily.

Would still buy them again for the cheaper price, nothing gets close to them for the tire size and performance.

The tire is "slow" in the sport action and handling, then if you want to race is not the one, but it breaks so good when you need to stop and the comfort is so good, then if you want your family care is the one.
