Tyre choice / recommendations

[Viking]

Michelin Pilot Sport 3 in 225 - 45 - 17 / 94Y are a shade over £90 each delivered. Then factor in some quids for fitting and they're about £100 is a corner.

Not tried the Goodyears, and although everyone raves about them on here I always go with Michelins as well. I don't see any need in trying something else to prove my choice of Michelins is right. Last time I did that I bought Continentals on the strength of other peoples recommendations. They lasted 8k miles for the set. I'm not doing that again...

previously had conti 3's on the front any they're still going on the back with 6mm tred, long lasting and quiet but grip was pretty piss poor.

Picked up some PS3's this week and I'm mega impressed with the grip, especially in the wet... not more wheel spinning in 3rd haha

This morning had 4x Goodyear Eagle F1 Assy 2's 
2nd full set that I have had. They are awesome.

I like the Pirelli P-Zero's as well for amazing grip in the wet and dry, but they do have a tendancy to sawtooth on the back and they are quite noisey.

Is this for 17's (225 45 17)? If it is you could get a decent tyre fitted cheaper than that, I had Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric 2 fully fitted for £92 each on mine.

225 40 18 the Avon ZZ5 seem to have a good right up!
