Depends what you want just having 4 fitted to the ZTT (work plodder)
49 each fitted same price for 17's from Ears Motorsport.

I dont expect them to be yokohama grip wise however they will be fine
for motorway work.

if you go to hull tyres (online shop) they will do them for ?80ish a corner + delivery.

one thing to note is that the BF G's will not give good grip when at the legall tyre limit, so make sure you change them at 2mm of tread to be on the safe side. I know this from nearly having a slow speed accident wher the tyres gave up grip (repeatedly) the abs kicked in and i nearly trundled into a roundabout...

Must admit the Toyo Proxes T1-R is the best all rounder we found for the ZS, we use these as our wet race tyres the grip is first rate, they are good in dry but we use R888 or Silverstone tyres for drys

guess the quality of the circuit surfaces has alot to do with wet grip whereas I found them a little vague on the road at times, no bad but I wasn't that confident with them. My old K104 Hankooks were pretty good, but I think they are obsolete now.

how are the Silverstones holding up? I'm looking into them for the ZS if they do them wide enough

This site might be of some use to you: clicky

I've got ZZ3's on the front and vreidestein on the rear of mine... Both seem very good!!

I have toyo proxi T1-Rs on my T16 maestro - very good but they do wear quicker than the ZZ3.

If you go for toyo make sure you get the T1-R and not the T1-S which are cheaper in cost and lesser in quality.
