Toyo's or Goodyear F1's seem to be the most rated for price and performance. If you can afford a few more quid the Bridgestone SO3 is an excellent tyre.

I went with the F1's as they are easier to get hold of from the Nationals, just in case I need a replacement at short notice.

I'm looking for some as well (i.e, fronts have started slipping in the wet). I want something really grippy, but I don't wanna pay the full wack for the original PZeros. Any suggestions? Some prices wound be helpful. It's in for a service in 2 weeks, and I'm bound to get ripped off unless I'm aware of the alternatives.

Cheers

Chris.

Chris - I'd advise against putting a different set of tyres on the front compared to rear. The tyres will most certainly have different characteristics. AWD will exploit the grip of both front and rear, if the rears are crap in the wet but great in the dry and the fronts are visa versa, you will be spinning like a top.

I know its hard to stomach but replace all four if you are changing brands.
