My next tyre choice(for omega)

[chrisgixer]

Hi guys.

 

I need a recommendation on my next tyres.

 

My history is of

 

Falken 451,452,912.

Liked... Mid range price. Quiet. Comfy compliant ride.

Disliked... Poor grip

Hated... Appalling tram lining and straight line instability.(this is a fact on this car, concluded after extensive testing to prove)

 

sports contact 3...

Liked...excellent planted feel, very stable at high speed, very little tram lining. Grip and wear levels good.

Disliked... Road noise, firm ride. Although not excessive.

Hated... Price. Although I'd rather pay for these over Falken instability for instance.

 

Dunlop sport max and TT

Borrowed these to diagnose tram lining on the Falkens, which they instantly cured.

Liked...very planted feel, stability, grip level.

Disliked...bit noisy

Hated...price, wear rate high which makes them doubly expensive.

 

 

So, any advice on a tyre that gives all the good points but non of the bad? I am prepared to ignore price considerations if a suitable tyre can be found.

 

To clarify, looking for...

grip v wear ratio similar to sports contact 3

noise/ride ratio similar to Falken... Or at least quieter than sc3

Stability similar to Dunlop/sc3

 

Thanks for reading.

Should add...

 

I realise tyre choice is a very personal thing. Some may not want to get involved. Fair enough.

 

Although I'm also open to theory's on construction and traits resulting from. Any comments welcome.
