What size are they on the standard ST alloys and how much do you guys pay to replace one of them?

Cheers,

They're R17 205/40, and from what I've heard they're likely to be around about £100 each to replace.

205/40/17 Pirelli P-Zero Neros. £89.30 each delivered from www.mytyres.co.uk. Probably double that if you just walk straight into Kwik Fit and get one...

Hope I don't get a puncture any time soon!

Can you get a "Budget" type tyre for these wheels?

I know its not the same, but lets say if times are hard for that month when they need replacing?

Agreed, leave the budget tyres well alone, the handling won't be the same and you'll only have to replace it again that much sooner as cheap tyres don't last very long. If you shop around then you'll find that you can pick up another one of the Pirellis fairly cheaply, it is a big tyre at the end of the day, so it will cost a few quid. Try somewhere like www.mytyres.co.uk or www.blackcircles.com for options.

Apparently the version of the P-Zero which we've got was actually "developed" for the ST, although how much of that is true I'm not sure.

The ST was developed on The P-Zero Nero, but the tyre certainly wasn't developed for the ST.

It should say on the sticker on the B-pillar inside the door, but I've got mine on 32psi all round with no problems.
