I have a choice of tyres,

toyo t1's - 75 pound on top of budget tyres
bridgestone - 120 on top of budget tyres
continental - 140 on top of budget

Any views which may help me? I want tyres which have a nicer ride if possible and have good grip along with giving fairly good milage.

I forgot to mention they are 18 inch wheels with a profile of 40.

Khumo 712 ecsta tyres are very good value for money and grip well in all conditions + they dont wear down quick.They also have a extra lip on the side wall so will protect your alloys against kerbing.I just bought a set of 18" off ebay with khumo and am made up.You can get them on ebay for about £60-65 a tyre. eBay.co.uk: Kumho 225 40 18 ZR 712 Tyres (Pair) (item 230005136890 end time 16-Jul-06 08:10:58 BST)

I've had toyos before and i thought they were excellent value for money. And very grippy.

The Toyos give good grip but will wear out very quickly, having said that depending on how much cheaper they are than premium brands it could still work out cost effective. Depending on the cost difference though I would go for Michelin Pilot Sport2 - superb.
