Good Year Eagle GSD3's all round
Johnsonstyres.co.uk - though would not recommend, crap service - use mytyres.co.uk instead.
Including fitting £445
So much better than the bridgestone potenzzas that were on before.

Malcolms Tyres in Barnsley, South Yorkshire. Can't remember price but I'll update later - certainly cheaper than anywhere else I could fine :D

GSD3's as well.
225/45/17 Fronts
245/40/17 Rears
Approx £410 for 4 tyres and fitting from Event Mobile
I wouldn't recommend them though - they did a crap job of fitting & I ended up having to take the car to my local garage a few days later to have the wheels balanced properly.
In fairness EM did pay for the re-balancing, but I still won't be using them again.
Eagle F1 Gs-D3's all round
Eagle F1 Gs-D3's all round

Jules, what kind of Bridgestone Potenzas were they? as there's a load of different types.

toyo's which are the best tyre I have used to date, a good improvement over the GSD3's I had previously!
Continental Conti Sport Contacts rear and Eagle F1 GSD3s just fitted up front. Bought from mytyres.co.uk (£168 pair), used a local fitter. All std sizes.
Intend to replace rears with F1s when existing Contis wear out.

Continental Sports Contact 2 all round - all standard sizes. Just managed to find a new pair of rears on eBay for 210 pounds delivered.
BenH how have you found them on your car?
I'm not convinced they suit the ZM - and they are more expensive than all the other tyres I looked at. Will not fit another set once these are worn out. Looking at changing to Toyo Proxes T1-R or perhaps Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3.

I found the Contis had excellent grip in the dry but things got rather slippery at the back when the rains came. This has been the driver behind my decision to go for F1s, which I'm fairly confident will give better wet weather grip at the expense of slightly worse dry weather grip.
A track day at Elvington which was rained off and beame an impromptu drift school showed the Contis rear breakaway was predictable and controllable unless you were being a bit lairy. :twisted:
