The bottom one. Although Michelin Pilot Sport 4 can probably be had for a couple of quid more, and they get great reviews.

Rashg60 has the F1s (not sure if they're asy 2 or asy 3 - asy 3 are the latest) and they seemed to grip very well on damp roads. A few people say the F1s have soft sidewalls, so are 'comfortable' in daily driving, but lose feedback under load in hard cornering. Depends how you drive the car.

If you can afford even more, and if you can find them, Michelin Super Sport are simply mega. Best tyre I've ever used.

I have the AS3 (on 17" 225/45) and think they are a really comfortable tyre.

If you want a more focused drive, then perhaps the PS4/CS5 or MPSS.

Pay an extra £7 a corner and get PS4s.

Been running the AS3 for a bit, nice tyre as good as the AS2 perhaps a bit stickier with less longevity, as they look quite low already, but I do tend to corner hard and regularly see 140+

91Y should do the trick I believe

The factory spec for 17" is 91W so you need 91Y (because they don't produce a W version)
