I went for pilot sport 2's but I am told on numerious occasions that the Yokohama Prada's are the way to go. Apparently they totally transform the car in terms of grip and drivability.

So I'll be needing 2 fronts pritty soon so will be going for the Yok's.

I'm currently running Avon ZZ3's, nice tread pattern and cheap enough but have so far proved to be a bit of a liabilty in light snow and heavy rain so will be going for Yoko Paradas next - but the Avon's are well worth it for the money (less than £100 if you shop around), yhey give lots of feedback and grip superbly in the dry!
