16" Tyres for the MX-5

[rfn]

The MX needs two new tyres - the front ones are nearing the legal limit. There is plenty of tread on the rears but depending on prices I can get I may just replace all four.

Currently on there are Bridgestones (I think).

I was looking at putting on the Goodyear GSD3's in 205/45R16 but Camskill prices these at £87 each. The Toyo T1-R are £64 each. I wanted to get a vague idea of which people would go for (or an alternative) before I ring the local tyre centre and try and get them to price match!

I had the F1s on my Mondeo and my Ibiza before then so I know they are a good tyre. Will see what sort of deal I can get on them.

What are people's thoughts on having different branded tyres on the front and back - an issue?
