    Are you on 16s or 15s? Toyo Proxes T1R get recommended a lot. So do Goodyear Eagles. I'm on 15s and currently running Vredestein Sportrac 3. Found them better than Continental Eco Contacts and Goodyear NCT5 I tried previously.
    Got mine from Camskill.co.uk delivered for about EU60 each I think - fitting extra obviously.

    Since Falabo can't respond at the moment... :pac:

    It's a 2002 156 Sportwagon 1.6 TS on 205/55 R16 tyres. Current tyres on the car are SAVA Intensas I think. :D

    I know nothing about this brand but they are very quiet, pretty grippy and fairly cheap. :rolleyes:

    I had those on a previous 156. Good tyres.

    Kumho ECSTA SPT KU31's is what I have on the 159, excellent tyre, bit of road noise, but good in wet & dry...

    Personally I Wouldn't buy part worn tires, same as I wouldn't buy an Alfa Romeo without history. Never know what life they had, inspected or not...

    Don't scrimp on safety when it comes to tires... Happy motoring :)

    I had a set of Save Intenzas on a 147 as well and they were a good tyre.

    Mike.

    Ran the toyos on my 156. Suited it well. Also ran falken fk452's on the gt so would recommend both. Camskill are very competitive on falken
