Tyre Choice...

Need to change a couple of tyres soon, had Firestones on the back, all good but have them on the front now and don't like the feel, doesn't feel like they have much grip. Pirelli P-Zeros were on the front and loads better but don't seem to last 5 mins. So looking for a decent alternative to both. Will put the decent tread Firestones back on the back and replace the fronts, any advise appreciated. Have 17" Penta wheels and usually spend £100-£120 a tyre

I purchased a set of 4 Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 for a total of £384 plus free delivery for my set of 4 refurbed 17" penta's from the below website back in November and so far so good!

cheers for that. good site and better price than I used too. Are the F1's the best option even for a few quid more?...

My rear tyres need replacing soon only 3mm left on them. It's really weird though, just had a look at the service history an in June 2011 the rear tyres were replaced with new Firestone SZ90 tyres. It's only been around 6 months and only 3mm left. I've had the car since around July this year and have been driving it carefully.

Any chance on a service they could have swapped the front and backs over?...

Have done it to mine a few times with out saying anything, would mean you're more worn fronts are now on the rear, fingers crossed anyway, would make more sense...
