ok, so its said to use:

 

225 / 50 / 16R on the front

245 / 45 / 16R on rear

 

Is there anywhere I can actually get four tyres the same brand and tread pattern?

 

What does everyone else have on their UK Spec OEMs?

 

Is there any harm having different fronts to rears?

 

The only Two I have found available in both the above sizes is the Bridgestone Potenza S02's

Which comes to around £480 for all 4 delivered (Not Fitted)

 

and the Toyo Proxes T1-R's

Are there any others around? or is this my only options?

Cheaper at Camskill.

 

Fronts are £86 each, rears £105 - thats for the Toyo's

 

Maybe even cheaper elsewhere - it was the first place i looked

i had a set of Khumos fitted to UK wheels a while back. Came from black circles at approx £285 ish plus fitting

Potenza S02 are a good tyre. These are serious cars, don't play around with toytown tyres.

I agree. I want decent tyres. I dont want cheapest, but I want best value for money, performance VS cost, but something that will be better in the wet too. Hence I looked at S02s and T1-Rs, not sure how the potenza S02's perform in the wet though.

as i drive mine like an old man as its only ever been out in the dry ,and never been over 100 ,,,top of the range tyres are not somthing i would pay out for but it suits my wallet

Well I had the warning beep for the first time since buying the car saying I was over 110kmph lmao.

im more of a posser then a speeder
