Anything recommended or should be avoided.

Little brother needs some new tyres soon, he has the 18" wheels
Front
235/40R18
Rear
265/35R18

Apparently he can get some Avons fitted for £420 all in.

For the budget, the Falken FK 452 come recommended, pricier option would be Michelin PS2 or Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric.

Opinions vary a lot on tyres.

I very happily run the Continental Sport Contacts on my chariot.

About £110 a corner all in, including getting them
properly torque wrenched on, not just air gunned on.

I would love to know where you can get these tyres for £110 for a 530 Sport! Every time I have priced up a set they are £600-£700 a time!

Nowhere near you in the South West, but here
in the South East I have found these folks to
be the best.

You could also try using their Internet partners
http://www.bestbuytyres.com/, but normally
I just get a quote by phone from Watling.
