budget tyres say it all a def no no,invest in some Re70 bridgestones what ive got on mine ok a bit more money but well worth it. never scrimp when it comes to tyres matey as they are your only point of contact between the car and the road.

The wife's Zafira had a fair of Sunny tyres on the front SN3630. In the wet they were appalling. In the dry they were slightly better, allbeit with wheelspin if the wheels were pointing anywhere other than straight ahead .
I have Yokohama Parada Spec 2 on my Blob WRX. I really rate them especially compared to the RE050 the car came with from new.
They lose out slightly to GSD3's in the damp, however I really rate them in the dry.
I've had P Zero Assymetricos, RE040, RE050, Lots of GSD3s on Imprezas . I'd be happy to recommend the Parada Spec 2 based on my experience of them over the past 15 months

Sunny side up more like.

Ditto on the Prada 2's. But I have used Falken FK452 on all my other Scoobs and found them to be awesome.
