Fulda Carrat Excellero (can only purchase mail order as far as I could find) Beat the Dunlops hands down , quieter, higher levels of grip and gave about 30K front 40K rear (to tread ware indicators) Many tyre dealers told me they are a budget tyre . THEY ARE NOT! can be found for about £150 mail order but previosly were only £125 guess it is the weak pound.
My recent experience has been Avon ZZ3's Now these look like they will be noisy but they are not, they are Michellin Primacy rivalling in quietness and can be found for £110 (online) to £150 fully fitted .
Hope you find this useful

Welcome to the forum Andy. Want to post a hello and tell us about yourself in the Introductions section? Do you have an 8? We need pictures if you do as we like pictures of A/S 8s here.
