Best Tires for the Vauxhall Corsa vxr

I love the feel of these tires and I'd recommend them to anyone who wants ultimate grip in all conditions assuming they don't mind how quick they chew through them. I have had my fronts on now for 2500 miles and are at just over 2mm. I'll be lucky if I can get over 3k milage out of the set which I find disgusting for the price I paid for them

Good all round sports tire, feels good under braking and cornering. In the wet it's good but noticeably less grip than in the dry, which is good as I have found with some other tires in the wet they feel great and then fall off. This tire feels less competent in the wet but it let's you know that through the car and steering wheel so you know your limits. In comparison to the bridgestone s001 and toyo proxes that I've had on this vehicle I would say its the best for dry grip and all weather feel and in my opinion the wear is similar to the other two options aswel.

These tires came fitted to the car when we bought it, all 4 brand new had been fitted by the garage before we collected car.

I was concerned as I had never heard of the brand but did not want to replace brand new tires so thought I would give them a go.

tires were ok at first dry and wet grip were reasonable although not amazing. But after a few months the tires went downhill fast, dry grip became no better than average and wet grip was downright dangerous.

Front wheels spin up when pulling away from junctions even in the dry and handling at any speed over 40mph is poor. In the wet the tires are just plain dangerous, front wheels spin up and send the traction control crazy even on the slightest use of the throttle and the car aquaplains at speed regularly, it's like trying to drive on ice.

After 2 almost accidents due to aquaplaining and the car being completely out of control in the wet the tires were removed as I considered them dangerous, fronts still had around 5mm of tread rears around 7mm. They were replaced with Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetric 3 tires all round and these tires even after 6 months of spirited driving are still providing excellent grip in both dry and wet, just shows how bad the davanti tires really are.

Worst tires I have ever had fitted to a car, average at best in dry and dangerous in the wet. Do not buy.

I cannot recommend these tires enough.

I replaced the original Continental tires on my car prior to a long distance road trip around Scotland. I tend to push my car to its limits when safe to do so, and safe to say these tires do not disappoint. The dry and wet grip are both outstanding, and give a lot of confidence through corners. You can feel where the limit of grip is. Road noise is significantly reduced vs the Continentals. The tires had no problems swallowing tight, twisty, off-camber, greasy Scottish back roads and I have no complaints regarding longer motorway journeys either.

The wear rate seems relatively high, but these are a high grip performance tire, so I am not expecting to be annoyed if they don't last 40'000 miles as some on here seem to expect. Can also report no vibrations either, even at speeds well beyond highway speeds and deep into 3 figures.

On a standard VXR corsa these are more than capable of normal driving conditions in wet and dry. Not recommended for those who drive it like they stole it but ideal for those who drive it like they own it. Higher profile has the added comfort and perfect for everyday use.

Budget tires IMO, not fantastic in the dry, not bad in the wet but gives you a false sense of security of just how much grip you have and when you loose grip on them its sudden and sharp.

After much thought I decided to go with these tires (yes I know there a bigger profile than standard tires). But as I was changing all four tires I didn't see a problem. I read up on this tire and saw some really great reviews about them. My car is Only driven hard in the summer months and only really use it if I have to in winter to potter around. However in the time that I have had these (since September) They have been fantastic. Far better feedback than the continentals it came with and have given me so much more confidence when driving spiritedly over the moors through the twisities. They are showing no signs of wear so far. I believe these are the newer version of the ps2 which also lasted for 26k miles on my dad's Audi. They are also a far better ride than the 35 profile tires which was part of my reason for choosing them. The only thing I can think of that isn't really an issue is that in cold weather (below 2c) they tend to jump on fall lock, i.e. when parking the car as they are cold I guess. But this has never off put me as I don't drive hard when the weather doesn't permit. Will definitely be replacing them with these again!

all in all these were standard on car when purchased new, and i don't under estimate continental as they are a decent tire manufacturer.

grip: i found with the right tire pressure for the situation they are a great tire dry and in the wet, with this it is the same in the corner's.

mileage: decent miles per gallon using the right pressure.

wear:i know they are designed to be a soft sport's tire, but had these now for a few thousand miles upo and down the motorway along with some spirited driving and i can say the wear on them is minimal.

im going to give the tire overall 8/10 compared to its rivals.

For the short time I've had the tires on they've been great, handling in the wet has been perfect, no complaints or worries, I have the semi slick version hence my confidence in buying these. Will buy again

Had these tires on my VXR corsa now for about 3000 miles, and they are absolutely fantastic! The grip from these tires is phenomenal, particularly in the dry. They have never given me any scary moments in the wet (Touch wood!). Only thing I would say is the tires are quite noisy, but that may be something to do with the 35 profile and quite a stiff chassis set up.
