I use Admiral's and they work well for me. I ain't a slowcoach, steady grandaddy driver either  ;).
Almost silent, great all weather grip, long life and a nice comforatble ride too.
Really good economical price of around 65 notes each delivered. What more could you ask for?
On second set now and have no intention of changing.  :y

Going by some I had on one of my previous Omegas, some level of grip would be nice ;D

Great grip is inversely proportional to long life. Thats where the compromise has to be made, if cost isn't a factor...

I have aquired a set of MV6 17inch wheels for my 2.6 CDX saloon and need tyres. What would be the recommended make of tyres in 235/45/17

Hello mate,
When I had 17's I used Pirelli and Continentals. Can't fault them.

I'm going back to 17's in the Spring and shall be looking to put these on again.

I have also considered Potenzas and will give them a go if the others ain't available when I come to reboot my 17's

Not entirely fair, though. Some Falken customers are delighted with their purchases. :D

Compated to sc3, quite a noisy tyre ime. And not massively grippy given the price. But certainly not a bad tyre.
