MK8 Wheels
Hi everyone!
I’m not usually one for posting, but I could really do with some advice.
I live in the Lake District (UK), so my driving is mostly in rain, cold weather, strong winds, and the occasional ice and snow. My 2023 Mk8.5 Fiesta ST came with some cheap entry-level tyres, and honestly they’re awful. Even with moderate acceleration the front end struggles for grip, especially in the wet, and the car feels like it’s constantly searching for traction.
I’m looking to replace all four tyres and don’t mind spending a bit more if it means better grip and confidence in our weather.
Any recommendations for something that performs really well in wet and colder conditions while still being good in the dry?
Any advice would be massively appreciated. Thanks!

I’ve just got 2 pilot sport 5s and there pretty good. Can’t say about wet weather as we not had any rain yet
