Tyre recommendations - Civic FN2 Type R

[bmv6197]

So I had an unexpected encounter with a sharp stone which took out a piece of the sidewall of one of my front tyres - unrepairable. So as an emergency “get-back-on-the-road-on-a-Saturday”, I had to get a local tyre shop to fit a new cheap tyre, but now I’ve got a decision to make around a permanent replacement.

So I’m left with three Avon ZV5s all with plenty of tread. And I am also now the proud owner of one new cheap Turkish replacement (Lassa Driveways Sport - after a few miles driving on it, I can confirm it is not sporty at all, but it does work on my driveway, so the name is 50% accurate…). Size is 225/40R18 for all of them.

Preference is of course just to buy one new Avon and swap out the Lassa. However I can’t find anywhere still selling the Avons, so I guess I have to either replace the Lassa and one of the Avons, with 2 new quality tyres, or bin them all and get 4 new ones (which seems like a huge waste and cost). Either way I need a recommendation on a new quality tyre for a FN2 Type R in the size above. The Avons have been awesome so something as grippy, quiet and durable as them is what I’m looking for.

Any ideas?
