I use yoko's 520's this time of year excellent whet grip but hard to get hold of as they don?t make them anymore in the size you want but you can use 205/55/15 size as well which I can get for about ?60 a corner fitted.

Just checked out the MyTyres web site - top link, Gambit, thanks. They do the 215/40/14 conti sport, that I use, for about ?55. Put that link in my favourites now.
I don't own this anymore - I just can't be arsed to change the picture

Good site  I had a look there before when I was after some winter tyres but no A520?s! Had a bit of look though as my new mk2 came with eagle f1's all round, a bit worn though.
