Another question guys... considering it's October, would it be a better idea to get winter tyres for the S, as it's my daily driver anyways?
If so, what's recommended?

They seem to be much of a muchness, people using Nokians, Blissaks etc
Useful thread here https://www.s2ki.com/...-winter-rubber/
Thanks for this guys, I'm sure I'll look back on these questions in a few months and cringe

Cool, thanks for that. Seems the Kumho's or Goodyear Ultra Grip's are up to the job. Because I've the 17" wheels, is it really necessary to get a set of 16" wheels and then winter tyres for them? Or could I use my 17" wheels and put the winter tyres on them instead?

Have a quick search, someone (s2k_Nut I think) did a review of them and thought they were pretty good IIRC.

Sorry about this guys - for now I'll go with summer tyres and probably pick up snow socks closer to snow-time!
I'm going to go with the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetrics for now, but I'm not sure which of the following is the correct size for the front?
Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 215/45 R17 91Y XL BSW Link
...
-OR-
Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 215/45 R17 87Y Link
I'm going to put in the order as soon as I know, so hopefully I'll get the answer soon!

When I had F1 GS-D3s on mine, I went for the higher load rating to compensate for the softer sidewalls (although it still didn't bring them up to Bridgestone stiffness). Not sure how they compare to the Assyms tho. The 'XL' denotation is for extra load, hence stiffer.

Ive been interested in ad08's for a while but what are they like in the wet? I need two new fronts but wondering if the start of winter is a clever time to fit two ad08's
