235/45R17 Pirelli P7 CINT 97W XL tyres on my current Omega, as I have had fitted for the last 9 years on this one.

Great tyres for me, being low profile. ;)

I had Kumhos. Seemed ok. Got Nexens now. Seem ok too 👍
Had them on my Desmond and also now got them on my Vectra :y. Not the same ones of course. :D
Had Nexens on my last Insignia. Not great.
I found them to be quiet and comfortable, and good resistance to tramlining.  However, if you wanted grip, look elsewhere.

I didn't rate the P7's on an Omega, though they were quite good on a little FWD shitbox hire car I had once.

Ooooo a tyre thread  >:D ;D

On the Omega, for daily use, I put Uniroyal Rainsport 5's on (Not sure they are an improvement against the previous Rainsport 3's), for proper driving I think you'd struggle to better Michelin Pilot Sport 4's. As always it's a matter of what suits your driving requirements - If you drive only a low mileage on local roads then clearly you'd put something midrange on.

I've got a set of Nexen tyres on the front, appreantly they are standard fit to Audis according to the tyre guy, which is a load of bullplop, but they seem ok - China's best!:

Audi cooperates with top tyre manufacturers such as Bridgestone, Toyo, Dunlop or Goodyear.

That's right, no need to indicate or drive with consideration for others anymore....  :D

Strangely enough, I find the M25 to be more civilised than some, despite it often being quite busy on the bits I use most.  Now the M1 from the North Circ to Northampton, that is full of a-holes ;D

I put a set of 4 Avon ZV7's on my estate last year.
Before scrubbed in, they was slippery as hell.
After a 150 mile fun drive down some rough roads, they came into there own and I was actually impressed.
