Personally, having had a bad shunt in wet weather, I always go for A wet grip rated tyres.

I do 20,000 miles a year so A or B fuel economy also a big consideration.

I usually go for Goodyear efficient Grip performance, but the price of these at Kwik Fitt seems to have crept up recently (215/16) anyway.

Last week I got some pirellis A wet and A fuel for £95

They seem ok so far.

I've been buying tyres at "Tyre Shopper" - fitting by National Tyres is included in the price, competative with Blackcircles. Or look at the German online retailers, they can deliver direct to a local fitting station (fitting charged locally)

Brand - Dunlop BluResponse the most recent selecton, good on fuel economy and price, 'A' rating in the wet but perhaps not the longest lasting tyre. (Note, it's a summer tyre). Will in time look at the CrossClimate from Michelin, dearer to buy, supposed to be good in the wet and to be longer lasting as well as with the added bonus of winter certification for snow.
