BF Goodrich has a nice tire for our vehicles. I will get the information off the tire and send to you. It is a nice low profile radial with a high mileage guarantee (hard to find). Works great for me and looks great!

My car came from the Cambridgeshire police authority with Goodyear Eagle F1s fitted, they seem to give awesome grip (although I've not run the car with anything else) even in the wet.

The only problem with them if they seem to have worn very fast at the front. 5.5mm to 1.6mm in about 3k miles, although I'm probably not the easiest of drivers on tyres and apparently the 850 T5 isn't either. Rear tread went from 5.5mm to 3->4mm in the same 3k miles.
