A few to choose from here: http://www.tyres-pneus-online.co.uk/...215-55-16.html

I've bought from here before, no probs. I know outside your budget, but these I recommend: http://www.tyres-pneus-online.co.uk/...6,97,W,XL.html

Falkens here http://www.tyredrive.co.uk/tyre.php?...2+97v+xl&did=1
quite highly rated

Had these fitted to my 2.2 Civic and liked these a lot http://www.tyredrive.co.uk/tyre.php?...6+97w+xl&did=2


Currently have Nexen N3000's on all round on my 75 and they wear well and are a reasonable budget tyre. http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m62b0s292p60030

I see someone says steer clear (excuse the pun) of DiamondBack tyres. Anyone care to say why? Reason is they're on my back wheels, they were there when I bought the car.

I've just fitted Avons on the front. At just over a hundred quid a pop, are they any good?

I've heard that they are ok-ish in the dry but in the wet - watch out!

(Even more so that you have the better tyre on the front)
