Another vote for Tyreleader - I've got P Zeros, but they were on there when I bought the car. I bought Nokian WR D3s for my winter wheels from Tyreleader and they cost around 20% less than anywhere else, delivered.
Next tyre swap I do I'm going for GY Eagle F1 Assy 2, as so many recommend them for these cars

It was between the Goodyears and the Dunlops.. I know the Goodyears are fantastic! I used to work for a tyre specialist and we worked alongside the GY/Dunlop group specifically.. I've been to a few training courses and the information I've received from those has highlighted that the Goodyears are fantastic as an all round tyre - yes, but the Dunlops have very similar ratings, are from the same provider and are more suited to "fast road use" than even the eagle f1 asymmetrics are!
I've also looked into Michelins as we tried working with them too, but they didn't sell very well due to being more pricey.. I'm personally going to stick to GY/Dunlop :) I wouldn't go for conti's or anything like that either! I'd quite like to get a bit of mileage from my tyres :wink:

Remember to factor in fitting - can be up to £20 per corner, depending on how greedy the fitters are ...
I've used www.tyre-shopper.co.uk (part of National Tyres & Autocare) and mytyres.co.uk fitted service in the past and found them both very good.
Some say that GY AS2 are squidgy due to soft sidewall.
I have been buying Conti SC5, great in the dray and wet. A little noisy on some surfaces though. Wear is ok, I get appr. 15k miles.

Don't know if you can claim twice for 4 tyres? why not visit twice and have 2 fitted at a time? guess they've thought of that one :sad1:
