Default Best mid range tyres??

Just wondered what tyres you've had or would recommend in the midrange sector ie Federal, Maxxis, Falken, Sumo, Primewell etc?.
I need a set of four and have about £200 to spend not including fitting as I have access to a tyre and balancing machine.
I don't use the car in the wet and dont plan on any track days soon

Thanks Guys

Yokohama Parada Spec 2's are your best best. But they will cost approx £240 for 4.

Falken FK452

(although you dont state size - you might get a set of Goodyear GSD3's for similar money from Camskill)

Falken F452's at Tweeks £300 fitted for 4. That was a price off a mate on the inside but cracking tyres all the same...

Where is this, please? Best price I can find is £124.75 (224/40/18) They are almost double the price of mid range tyres

what are the falken's like when it comes to surface noise? I currently have Dunlop sp sport and they are really noisey and are useless in the wet!

They are not at all bad for road noise, I expected less for the price and am now on my 3rd set I think.
