[Closed] Not the usual "What Tyre?" thread...

Hi all.

I've got a Mk.4 Fiesta at the moment, but the front tyres are on their way out and will need replacing to pass its impending MOT.

I will admit I know absolutely FA about car tyres, so all I can say is they are on the stock (non-alloy) wheels, and the previous owner has put a different brand and tread pattern on EVERY wheel.

One bit of advice my mate gave me was "don't skimp on tyres, especially in rural areas." I therefore would like your recommendations for a reasonably priced performance tyre that will grip very well and roll reasonably quickly. This is for a just-about-to-graduate-student's car so I can't spend silly money.

Thanks in advance.
