Two tyres i would recommend would be Vredestein Sportrac, i had Sportrac 3 but i believe that now been superceeded, they replaced Michelin Pilotes and were better all round, only my opinion of course, some people would disagree.

Currently running Uniroyal Rainsport 3, took a couple of weeks to bed in but grip levels are well up to the normal excellent Uniroyal levels, reasonably quiet, decent ride.

I buy tyres from various online sites, i have a shortlist of suitable makes and models and when the right bargain crops up buy them.

A search on a site like Tyreviews might be worth your time, they link to most of the professional tyre test reports, a good a place as any to find out whats good and bad in the rubber dept.

The budget you give doesn't help a lot without a tyre size and spec to work to.

Same size as on one of our cars, its a popular size so choice and price is good, here's Camskill's page, some really good rubber there for around £70 a corner, + £3 per tyre postage + you'll have to get them fitted, i usually pay a tenner apiece.

TyreLeader worth a poke nose too.

Your tyres will have a load rating as well as the speed, V, you can go up in either but shoudln't go below whats specced for your car.

If you check these sites they usually give a noise measured in dB as well as fuel efficiency and grip, i'm none too convinced about some of the wet grip values stated (by the maker), my daughter had some awful ditchfinders that had a decent rating but were lethal in the damp.

I have a 2008 CRDi 115 BHP Ceed with the same sized wheels.

Currently using Kuhmo KU39

I paid around £80 each from Event Tyres including mobile fitting.

Good grip in dry and wet.

No noiser than previously fitted Michelins, Continentals and Maxis.

Personally, I find the Ceed quite noisy but not noisy enough to do anything in the 4 years I have had it.

It would probably be better on 15 or 16 inch.
