Have had enough of the poor grip of my wearing Pirelli's, especially at the moment with the wet weather. The car wheel spins at the slightest opportunity and grip is poor in the corners even in the dry.
My question is, what is the best all round tyre for the ST? Something that performs fairly well in the wet and dry? I don't need anything super fancy (don't intend on taking it on a track)
I know this has come up before but not sure what represents good value for money at the moment.
Thanks in advance peoples

Eagle F1s, you get what you pay for.

I've seen them recently at my local tyre place so I;m sure they have stocks even if they have stopped making them? Which I hope they haven't! ZZ3s all the way for me. Aim for £60-70 per tyre

I have called Elite and they recommend 2 tyres.

1st - Toyo PX4 at £64.00 each incl fitting

2nd - Vredestein (some dutch brand!) at £58.69

Any thoughts?

If i was to think of a brand well known around the world it would be toyos so i think that would be your best bet for quality and it is well reccomended on this site although the avon zz3s are also the most reccomended tyre as well id wait for a few more responses before choosing what you want
