I'm sure Costco do Michelin Pilot Sports for £100? They're very good tyres.

Sumitomo HTR ZIII's are a very good budget tire. I've run them for years now and had nothing to complain about other than 1/4 mile launches with the power from my LSD'less K04. I live in Northwestern Oregon and it is very wet here from October to June, and the Sumi's held up very well...even when it freezes. They give 28k to 32k miles per set for my driving. I just recently switched to Conti DW's to improve launch traction and have yet to put that to the test, but also I hope to not lose traction when roads are wet in comparison to the Sumi's. If I were to change from the Conti's for another budget brand...I wouldn't hesitate to return to Sumi.
