I've been through many tyres on many Alfas V6's. Firstly, don't but Avon. They are ****e. You will rarely read a good review about them on any car forum. I bought them on my first gtv v6 as they were cheaper than the rest. Rubbish in the wet.
The Goodyear Eagle F1's and Toyo Proxes are excellet tyres, the Toyos IMO wont last as long but they are both very good.
Michelin Pilot Sports would be my choice today. They are pricey though.
I've got conti's on my gta and while good generate more noise than I would like.
Not a big fan of Pirelli's. I had p-zero's on my 156 gta. They weren't bad but for the money, they were bad value.
