Buy a "soft" socket to use on those new wheel nuts lads.

Gone past the lying on the driveway in the wind and rain buggering about with cars, garage at home is too narrow to be comfortable working on the car plus there will be coolant all over the floor [
My excuse is that you appreciate them more when you do get to drive them, one of them will end up at the Classic Le Mans this year.....................again [

Continental is the only "premium" one they do in both sizes, but mid-range they have Falkens, Kumho, Maxxis etc. in both.
Don't go for the budget ranges....

Out of the available choices I would personally go with either the Falken ZE912s or the ContiPremiumContacts.
Kumhos I have found so so in all honesty, not bad but not great. I was never that thrilled with the KU31s on the my S2 and I felt that I threw away £180 on a pair of KH31s on the Mondeo V6 I owned where Michelins and Goodyears were better VFM in near enough every way (grip and wear (10k vs 20k+)). The KH17s were not too bad when I tried them it has to be said but that was also on a Volvo 740...

Is there much difference in handling if I change to all 215/15/60? If I go with the option I'll probably get goodyears

I'm not worried about the wear as I don't do the mileage, the current tyres have lots of tread but have perished. Currently has continental on the front which have perished the most and goodyears on the rear.

Probably not much at all, it may potentially improve things with a few peeps on here saying that even sizes all round seem to suit a 944

Falkens are fine on mine, and I'd go for them again. Also had Toyos and they were good.
I've got dunlop bluresponse on mine, previously had dunlop fastresponse. good wet and dry grip and were less that £50 a corner from blackcircles.
205 or 215 seem rarer and more expensive for questionable benefit.
