215/40/16Y86XL:FK452  Falken    £64.95, delivered free in two days. I just put this on my daughter's MG (to match existing before you ask) from Camskill Tyres. Fitted and balanced for a tenner at my local tyre fitter.

I shall be looking at Camskill for my next tyres, they were very efficient. :y

Camskill have a good selection of track day and winter tyres, etc. too, rather than just normal road tyres. :y

I see they have a special offer on F***en 912s in 235/45/17.  :D

After careful consideration, I decided to go for Nexen N8000 (225/55/16). According to several tests, this is a really good budget tyre at a really good price
(I paid ~60 pounds each (including shipping to Sweden) from www.fipio-reifen.com.).
"The Korean tyre gave a convincing performance in the braking tests, and scored high in safety: its braking features allow the tyre to have a place among the premium brands."

The major disadvantages appear to be high wear and slightly increased fuel consumption, but since I only drive 3000-4000 miles per year with this car, this is not really a big problem for me.

I have not yet mounted the tires on the car but have to wait until March/April when it is time to change from winter tyres.
