www.etyres.co.uk and paid £75 a corner with mobile fitting. Can get them cheaper from mytyres and find a local fitter but I didn't have the time.
I never scrimp on tyres. Only thing connecting you to the road at the end of the day.

Yes, never scrimp on tyres, my friend found out the hard way on saturday doing 80mph on the motorway....
No one hurt and didnt even hit another car luckily, had to navigate onto the hard shoulder from the fast lane after the tyre blowing

I recently fitted GT Champiro 55's to the Marea and I have been VERY impressed with them. They're a mid range tyre and I got them for £53.50 per corner from Kwik Fit, fully fitted with valves and disposal.
Driving back from Surrey on Monday in the rain, they were very assured and whilst throwing the car around the twisty country lanes round my village this morning, they stuck like **** to a blanket
However, if I had the money, I'd probably go for Pirelli's too. Although Al makes a convincing argument for the Dunnie's.
I think that tyres are one of those things that are down to driving style and personal preference. Horses for courses.
