depends Mikey what u use yer capri for and how you use it!!!
too many things come into play when deciding whats best tyre choice etc.....so bloody stupid question Mr Cross!...Ha ha....seriously tho', obviously for tyre life you gotta buy a treadwear number above 320...(wonder how many people know bout that one lol)....higher the number the longer they last!...soft tyres will have low number and wear out quicker BUT grip like a good un when u prob need it the most!....my Fav is the Yoko....good track day tyre...looks **** hot tread pattern on a fast car too!...and if ya drive hard on the street i reckon you cant beat Toyo Proxy's....directional tread pattern with very good grip in wet AND dry....in my early days of capris i loved the "General" tyres...they had such hard compound (high treadwear number) but the buggers gripped well too for a hard tyre....nowadays as a good capri tyre the Falkens take a lot of beating...ZE 512 pattern if i recall....horses for courses i suppose at end of day...but talking fast track day tyres only Yokos or prob Toyos worth talking bout.
