Nightmare trying to find tyres

Went to the Gower over the bank hols - got a puncture in the rear and had to put the space saver on.

 

Was 150 miles from home and needed to get a replacement as I didnt fancy driving home at 50mph on a bicycle tyre. Rang round 10 garages in the Swansea area and only 2 stocked any 245/45/R18s.

 

Only choice I had was budgets I'd never heard of, Avons, or Pirelli PZero's. Went for the pirellis as Ive had them before on a scoob and were ok but not fantastic in the wet from memory.

 

Only bonus was both my rears were almost at the minimum so needed changing anyway.

 

The Pzeros at ATS were £165 plus VAT, mananged to get them for £149+VAT in the end with a 10% AA discount, but still get the feeling ive been shafted on price and not been able to choose the tyres I wanted either.

 

So, has anyone got these on their Z and what is the general view of them?
