Yoko Parada or Toyo Proxes should do you for general road use.
My Tyres online + local fitting or ring round local tyre places for best price.

I bought 4 toyo proxes T1-S 225/45/16 for my tintop.
£231 delivered from camskill tyres and £40 fitting at the local tyre shop.
I was getting quotes of £430 from tyre shops to supply/fit.
While I was there I got a 4 wheel track done. It is pointless spending money on new tyres only to ruin them.
What I like about Toyo Proxes is they are a lot quieter than the goodyear eagles that I changed from on my F1-2.
They were so quiet that I thought there was something wrong with my ears! 
You can see another set on my MotaLeira in my avatar.

If it's general road use I've found any old cr@p from anywhere to be just fine really. The tyres on my car now were about £180 for the lot
new and they haven't let me down whatsoever. They're bog standard no-make ones...

Well yeah you get what you pay for but like I said I've found general road use the cheap ones are fine. I guess if I really had to fault them
they're awful when it's really raining but otherwise no problem.
By the way I have used halford's brake pads and they're ok too
