Round black ones?

As Jenson Button replied to a question 'what about the tyres?'
He replied 'they're the big round black things on each corner'

Sorry! I couldn't resist it

Best? Dry grip? Wet grip? Wear? Noise? Fuel Consumption?

Are you sure they're not 205/55/16s on a Mk III Mondeo - I didn't think there were any with 15" wheels.

No idea what would be a good tyre in that size but the NCT5s ar £58.96 a corner fitted at www.valuetyres.co.uk

I had Dunlop SP2000Es fitted to my Mondeo by Black Circles. Very pleased with them.

Falken, excellent, top brand in most of Europe / the world though not so well known here, made in Japan, you can have ZE512 or FK452 in your size, I have the latter in 205/50/17 on my Mondeo.

Buy direct from www.falkentyres.co.uk

Or ask your local tyre centre to get them in as I did.

Mine works well on the new michelin pilot primacys - I had them fitted to all four corners about 3 months ago and very pleased with them so far. Including towing a heavy caravan.

Previously had good experience with continentals, but wore them out very quickly - about 15,000 miles on the front. The Michelins lasted about 22,000 front, 44,000 rear.

Goodyear Eagle F1, outstanding grip, winner of most tyre tests it takes part in, and very quiet due to having a continuous tread patter instead os blocks. The only downside is that they are pretty useless in snow.

Mine (55-reg TDCi 130) has Bridgestone Turanza ER30s (205/55 R 16 V). Given what is asked of the front tyres in particular (heavy car, heavy engine, 243 lbs ft of torque), and the fact that neither I nor the Hertz customers who preceded me have driven the thing exactly gently, I am mightily impressed that they have lasted 25,000 miles. The rears have loads of life left. Would recommend.
