Default Tyres on Prodrive 18' wheels, Hawkeye

All,

will be needing a new set of tyres soon. Looking for ideas of what to go for if there is anything better then the Pirelli Zero Nero's on it.
tyre size (from memory) is 225/40/18.

I have seen the Nero GT's available now or even the GY Eagle F1's.

I am expecting to spend £100+ a tyre so not too worried on cost. Don't do track days just spirited road use mainly.

Car has a few suspension upgrades. Prodrive springs, Whiteline roll bars (22mm front, 27mm rear) along with whiteline drop links etc.
I am also considering having 4 wheel alignment while getting tyres done so any recommendations of where to go for this in my area would be appreciated.

thanks,

Currently running Yoko Parada Spec 2's on 1 set of wheels. Amazing in the dry, lethal in the wet!

Also got Goodyear Eagle F1's on another set of wheels and they are a very good all rounder. I'd buy them again.

Wow, quick reply lol.
I assume you have the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2? I am leaning towards them looking at reviews online.

Also just remembered one of the wheels is bent on the inside, will need to have that fixed 1st.

Yep, they are the ones! Really good tyre. Use them as my winter tyres too and always had great grip and balance in the dry. Very impressed. I know a few that use these on the track.
