Do you really need to ask that question,
Never scrimp on tyres. It's the only thing keeping you on the road. Buy the best you can afford.
Ps: The correct size for a classic is 215/40/17

buy the best you can afford fella,there are plenty of reviews/forums around the internet do a little/lot of research and price match accross
by the way,never settle for the first fitted tyre quote you get fella i have had amounts varying by as much as £70-£80 each tyre on the same make and model

I've been running budget for a while, as it goes they actually haven't been that bad for me, i can't wait to get decent tyres and see the difference in handling.
Thanks

TBH in summer it isn't so bad, but I bought a pair for the winter, and was safer on 2mm of worn Yokohama...
Did a day on a rallycross circuit and they emerged virtually unmarked ( concrete ! )
Not advised IMHO.
