Default ST170- What tyres, for road use (and the odd thrash)...

As above, What tyres do you guys recommend for an ST170. Ive nearly gone through a pair of pirelli p-zero nero's on the front and the rears ( budgets from before I owned the car) are worn on the inside edge (apparently a common focus fault).
I used to have a clio and the guys on the various clio forums swore by PE2's and toyo's. Whats the consensus on here??

Hi, mine came with a brand new set of Maxxis MA-Z1 Victra's when I bought it in August. They're holding up well and ive got no complaints.
When they finely do give the go I'll be getting some goodyear f1 gsd3's as they seem to have good reviews all round.
Hope that helps

Recently switched to Kumho KU31s, did have contis when i got the car but had a blow out which resulting in me having to get 2 new tyres so put 2 new Kumhos on the rear, then my fronts got low so switched them for the Kumhos again so have then all round

So far very happy with them for the price i paid, paid in total £280 fitted

I thought GSD3s were still around. they're still showing up on all the major tire websites?

Unfortunaly the gsd 3s are not available in the st170 size (215/45/17) goodyear eagle asymmetric have taken over, you might be lucky to find a tyre shop with some still in stock but doubt it. If you got the money then the pilot exalto 2s would be my choice.
