Pirelli P-Zero Nero's are very good (IMHO). I think they still tramline a tad but nothing like the Bridgestones. Grip in the wet and dry is amazing.

Vredestein UltraC is superb wet or dry and has excellent wear characteristics. Mate just got 4x 18's for 320 fitted Also never had problems with either Hankook Ventus or Fulda Carat Assura. Budget tyres but exceptional in use.

Talking toyo/bridgestone

Hi,

I've been running on bridgestone S-03 and they're very good dry and wet but now running with toyo t1-s and they're better in wet.
Really top tyres!
Next move will be toyo t1-r (better than s)
Also do an gr.N tarmac geometry (about 125pounds incl. vat) your car will respond much, much better.

See you

Hope this help

Daniel
