I have had these summer tyres fitted today:
Rear: Goodyear F1 Asymmetric 2 285/35R19
Front: Goodyear F1 Asymmetric 3 245/40R19
Ordered and fitted by my local guys (Stroud Tyres) for £720. Apparently these were the only two pairs of tyres of these sizes currently available (to them) in the UK.

I've not really had a chance to try them out properly yet, because of all the snow.

My winter tyres were Pirelli Sottozeros, which have been on for two winters now (maybe 12,000 miles). The fronts are still absolutely fine, but the rears were on the limit.
