Default D2 S8 tyre recommendations

I'm sure it's one of the most frequently asked questions on any car forum, but I would like some tyre recommendations.

I removed my front wheel at the weekend to do some brake work and when I did so, I saw two huge nails embedded in the tyre and a light crack around the entire tread in line with the nails. I *ahem* "stretched the car's legs" the day before as well so count myself lucky. Decided to bite the bullet and get 4 new tyres as the rears are also pretty low, close to the tread indicator.

I'd like some Uniroyal Rainsport 3 but wasn't sure if these would be too stiff. I've had them a couple of times on smaller cars I've owned and they were great, especially in the wet but not sure how they would perform on a big saloon... Anybody have any recommendations?

Want to avoid Pirelli P-Zeros if I can, I find them too soft after having them on my D3.
