So we've had the Noble on the road for a month now. All going brilliantly but we want to change the tyres. Presently have Toyo which aren't good for road. Can anyone recommend best tyres for wet and dry road usage please?

I've had no problem with Avon ZZ1s, fronts were about 120 each fitted, and the rears are about 140.
ZZ3s replace the ZZ1s now I think.

If you don't want to compromise the handling, trofeo R, pilot cup sport, or good year F1

I've had the Brisgestone S02 for a few years which have been pretty good!

Another vote for Goodyear eagle f1's. I find them good on cold damp roads as well as on track. (I have the v-pattern GSD3's)

Bridgestone SO2 A's I think they're now called. Used these for years as my all round road tyres on the Noble.

I have P Zero rossos, yes they are expensive but you will know where that money went on a soaking wet lake district road. The grip is incredible.

If it helps a certain Noble is currently running around on a set of MPS PS2s in original sizes on the M400 and he thinks they are a pretty good compromise.

Got mine from Oponeo, £260 for the fronts £378 for the rears.

camskill have an excellent offer on avon zz3 s at the moment not looked at what the fronts cost as i need rears but at £114 each inc vat for rears I think thats a bargain.

I've two front SO3s with loads of tread on them. Unfortunately over time they've delaminated (cracks along the side of the treads) so maybe only good for rolling the car around on spare wheels off road.

Happy to donate NO CHARGE if anyone can find a use for them before I bin. Collect SW London.

Any more updates on recommendations for winter/wet tyres.

I wanted ZZ3 but can't get fronts and backs in our size. ZZ5s you can't get in our size either.

I spoke to Jestream today with regard road use tyres for a M400.Their suggestions were the Bridgestones,Goodyear or the latest P-Zero which apparently is a good balance between the Corsa and Rosso.
Anyone thinking of a group buy?
