[The Barge Captain]

Looked now! Had to take a torch though

Avon ZV3's

Only had them on for 1000 miles so can't really comment on durability but handling is fine and I will put the same ones on the back in the next month or so.

From the Avon site
http://www.avon-tyres.co.uk/?page=tyres&method=detail1&tid=3

Tyre for performance saloons.
Special 'tri-sector' tread pattern makes this a very quiet tyre
Confidence-inspiring on-the-limit handling
Strong roadholding in all conditions
Good steering response
Wide range of sizes to fit your car

Cost was £160 for the pair with all the balancing, valves etc

Just put a pair of those on the front of mine.  Seem to go round ok and hold air in.

ATS was cheaper than both blackcircle & mytyres for 4 Michelins especially as you then have to get them fitted after you've bought them on-line.

Mytyres will tell you the address of a fitter if you put in you post code and it only costs between £7.50 and £10 a tyre

Mytyres come and fit them, Black Circles send tyre to a local centre who fit them. This is inc in price (unless you pick tyre only option)

The fully fitted price from ATS was £440 (ouch!!) which was virtually the same price quoted by the online sites for tyres only.

If you decide to get a garage to fit new discs make sure the y use GM ones some pattern discs can (as some people on here will tell you) warp within a few thousand miles. However as L.B stated to fit them yourself is a piece of cake.

I went along the cheap brake discs route a few years back with my Senator. Within 3/4000 they were running out of true again. According to Brakes International I'd fitted them incorrectly and were no longer interested. A set from Vauxhall sorted it all out though.
