agree alot with the quality issue.......the drive quality and grip and noise from a decent tyre are night and day over cheapos. i had federals on for years and thought they were ok for a £60 tyre BUT when you go for good year etc the tyre difference is massive.
the new good year efficant grip plus tyres have great reviews and is what im putting on mine. thye get A rating for grip. B fuel and 67db road noise one of the best on market at mo
