    Several members have recommended the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2. There should be a new replacement for this tire being released in a couple of months (April, according to Michelin customer support in US), the Pilot Super Sport. You can search these forums and find several threads about tires.

    I just ordered a set of PS2s for my car (245/35ZR19 (93Y) fronts and 305/30ZR19 (102Y) rears).

    If cost isn't a consideration then the PS2's are the best choice.

    Pirelli zeroes are expensive enough and do the job are PSD2s really necessary for road use?

    I like the Pirelli's, but I did notice a difference when I changed out to PS2's. The PS2's offered less road noise and softer ride without giving up grip and sidewall stiffness. Hankook EVO's are a really good 1/2 the price option, sort of a PS2 with less sidewall stiffness.

    I'm in Dubai as well, went with Michelin PS2s (245 & 305). While my P-Zeroes were quite worn by the time I replaced them (thus not really a fair comparison at all) I feel like the PS2s offer a better feeling experience than the P-Zeroes did initially. Certainly on the non-performance side they do feel a bit less 'harsh' than the P-Zeroes, resulting in a slightly softer feeling ride over rough surfaces.

    Expensive does not always mean good or best. This applies to tires as well...

    Cheaper rubber might be much better suited for the different driving needs in different situations.

    There are also significantly more than two options of rubber for our cars...

    I suggest doing a SEARCH of this site for your tire information and then get back to us with any remaining questions using one of those threads.

    I don't know about all of the UK (did you search with more than one dealer or website?) but try German ebay or German sites... you could get any brand you want, shipping would be pricey though.
