Default Which tyres?

Hi,

I've just brought some alloys and will need new tyres before their fitted.

Can any1 recommend anything?

I was thinking of either Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 205/50 R16 87Y BSW or Pirelli P Zero Asimmetrico 205/50 ZR16 87Y

What do you think?

P.s. I don't know much about tyres so any help in choosing will be much appreciated, I'm after tyres with great grip in the dry but also in the wet cause of our great weather

Cheers,
Spanky

Going purely by what I've read on here I'd go for the F1s out of those two.

I've just switched to Vredestein UltraC's and 1st impressions are very good. My mate (Dazza's STi) has had them on about a month now and he rates them well above the Toyo's. I got 4x 215/45/17 for 240 quid, plus a tenner a corner for fitting They came out top in a recent Auto Express tyre test I'm told. It was sponsored by Khumo, who came 4th Supposedly have excellent wear characteristics, but I won't know that for a while, hopefully
