Happy with Dunlop Blueresponse... similar size, 195/65/15 V88, done about 1,100 miles and grip well in wet, dry,damp and frosty conditions, and reasonably priced :y

These look like a good replacement for 185/55/15.

£50.99 fitted at Kwik Fit. 'A' rated for wet weather performance and also quiet at 68 Db.  :y

The chavs at the Corsa C forum say 195/50/15 can be used as a direct replacement for standard fit 185/55/15.

This means I'd save about £15-£20 a corner. Overall diameter is within 1% and the extra 10mm of width shouldn't present a problem.

So...which to choose, Dunlop Blue Response or Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance?

Both £50.99 including fitting.

As Dunlop and Goodyear are the same company there can't be much between them?  :-\

I am biased against Dunlop as I have seen that many deformed SP4's we used to call them banana tyres ;D ;D

For another thirty bob a tyre I would have Conti Premium Contact 5.  :y
