Can anyone suggest some seriously sticky (road legal!) tyres for the CRS?
   
   I'm fed up with the (useless) stock items and help would be appreciated.

Hello,
   
   I repeat what has been said before:
   
   For 16" rimmed MkIVs and CRSs, the correct original tire spec is 225/50 VR 16 front and 255/50 VR 16 rear.
   
   Michelin are offering again the Pilot Sport in the correct 225 and 255/50 ZR 16 size (Y rated), in their Collector Tyre program. My dealer here in Luxembourg has quoted a price of 192 € front and 355 € rear apiece & mounting & VAT. Delivery within a week. Sizes of the Pilot Sport are: (width / ext. diameter / circumference)
   Front 225/50 ZR 16 : 242 mm / 642 mm / 1928 mm
   Rear 255/50 ZR 16 : 276 mm / 672 mm / 2019 mm
   
   Hope it helps
   Best regards
