I own an Accord i-vtec ( 2004 saloon,manual,petrol) with 17 inch low profile tires

1) its time to change the front tires as such I would like to get your views on a good set of tires im not after budget tire but good ones less than 90 quid per tire (good road handling and fuel efficiency)

2) also as per Halford brake test I need to change the front disks but since they are expensive I want to buy brembo discs from Euro Parts and give it to an independent garage who can fix it,there are two type of discs available (15 inches and 16 inches) do you which is the correct one for this model?

Are the tyres 215/50R17? Falken ZE914s?

That's a common (and therefore cheap!) size.

I'd go Goodyear F1 Assymetric 3 at 82.62 a corner fitted, plus a 25 discount on BlackCircles if you buy 4. I just bought these for my Type R - but at 140 quid a corner fitted on 225/35/19!
