Best kind to buy people????
No cheap pish budget crap, need to replace the standard Continentals
( 205/50/16 size)
Got 20k out of the Contis - quite impressed by them, any have any experience of Avon ZV3s or Pirelli P6000s??
I do like Toyos but they wear fast and I do a lot of miles.
Any advice appreciated

i've got the zv3's. i got them because some previous zz3's were awesome.
i'm a little disappointed because they weren't as good as their bigger brothers, but they are decent in wet and dry.
i would try something else next time i think,

Toyo's are shite.
5k they lasted me and one of them was buldging ready to blow out. 
Didn't grip too well either.

If you want something that will last a while Continental Eco-contact are good, save on fuel too...
