I have Avon ZZ3s - really good tyres once they are bedded in - it took a while though.

KUMHO KU31 ECSTA SPORT KUMHO KU 31 - 205/40R17 84Y XL TL
£44.30 each at camskill, always get good reviews.
After doing a lot of researching and reading countless numbers of positive reviews, I just put a set of Kumho Ecsta KU31 tyres on my ST a couple of weeks ago.
So far these tyres have been excellent and I have been very impressed! .. they are fairly quiet for a low profile tyre, have great handling and grip well on both wet and dry roads .. I can't comment yet of course on the wear but from all accounts they wear fairly well, they are a 320/AA/A tyre so they should be pretty good.

I had a set on my older Fiesta 'Black' and they were great

They get better reviews than the Toyos (KUMHO KU31 ECSTA SPORT) and are cheaper, so got to be worth ago.

What about the Pirelli P Zero Nero's that come standard?
they are great when warm... but getting them warm on cold roads is hard to do!
