Dont know if you guys have these on your side of the pond. I was looking for the Nokian WRs like everyone suggested for my car but ended up going with my favorite brand of tire, Nitto. Got a great deal from one of my suppliers 255/55/18 for $120 each delivered to the door. These tires replaced a set of Hankook Ventus 235/60/18 tires. The Hankook still has about 25,000 miles of life left but something inside of me said change them out. I was always getting this rumbling groaning sound. Thought it was a bad bearing in stereo!

These tires make the vehicle feel more securely planted to the ground. corning is better now with the ever so wider tires. Not to mention how quiet they are.
