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

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?

After much deliberation and investigation, it is now down to either the Avon ZZ3's or the Toyo's. I know I can get the Toyo's fitted for £64 each but anyone know where I can get these Avons from fitted?

As Ally mentions, the Avons are great ! I fitted them to my Fabia VRS (nose heavy Diesel 170bhp) and the difference from the Continental Sportcontact from new were amazing. It actually cornered in the wet, unlike the Conti's

Are the Avon ZZ3 tyres run flat? The chappy at the tyre place said they were?

Thank you all very much for your advice on new tyres for my  I went with the general concensus on here and am now the proud owner of 2 Avon ZZ3 tyres. I have to say, the difference is very noticeable and they also look the dogs danglies  I managed to smoke some of my old tyres away before I got rid of them and oh dear, how I was slided around on those Pirellis  The tread on them wasn't too bad but the rubber had bulged slightly on small bits of the tread, so I guess they had reached the end of their days. 2 x Pirelli front tyres, 2 years and 10 months old and 17,000 miles done. May they be melted down and made into small rubbers that adorn the top of school pencils
