Anyone know where I can get some info on which car tires are better etc?

I'm only after family car tires but I would like to compare, durability, grip, road noise, etc.

I generally look towards pirelli for my tyres (unless I dont plan on using them to drive safely) take a look at them as it would be and has been the only tyre I will put on a car that will have my family in.

The current tires are 185/60-15's

I guess I could put on 195 tires as there are more to choose from.

Yeah 195s would be good, I went from 195 to 205 on my Lancer and noticed the difference instantly!

i got falken FK452 tyres on my car.. seem to be a good all round tyre, not noisey and last for quite a while and there grippy when the road is wet.. there getting low thou as i have clocked up 139,000 km's on the original pirrelli's when i brought the car new and the set of falkens i put on after the perrelli's.. the car is a every day driver from liverpool to the city and back ( cars leased though work ) so its seen a fair bit of road, seeing its only 3.5yr old car.. and there resionably priced..

the kumo's arnt to bad either, i got a good lengh of life out of those when i had my previous car..
