Looking for tyres for a Vauxhall Corsa

I can't decide on new tyres (195 55 16) for our Corsa, go for budget such as GT Radial or Rotalla or a bit more premium such as Uniroyal 5. We are changing all 4 and don't want to spend more than £350 fully fitted. Any advice would be great!

    Have a look on eBay you'll probably get a bargain on there and a local tyre place should only charge around £10 per tyre fitting.
    I'd also ring a few local tyre places as you'll more than likely get brand new fitted for £50 each if you hunt around (budgets).
    My poor mates just been quoted £600 for two new tyres

    I can recommend the Uniroyal RainSport 5 tyres they offer very good dry grip and excellent wet grip for the money. Camskill have 4x tyres delivered for £302.70 if I remember correctly which is around £30 cheaper than eBay obviously you would have to pay for fitting which is around £15 per corner where I live but it could be different where you live.

    I found them on eBay earlier through blackcircles, including fitting by a local garage. Tempted at just under 350. I see the GT radials get good reviews, but for about 60 less, fitted - I think I'm better off with these? I'm quite indecisive

    I presume getting the XL version of this tyre would be overkill on a Corsa? (edited)

    Try Asda Tyres (Fitted locally) asdatyres.co.uk/
    The GT radials are a good well priced tyre and good in the wet. I use them on one of the cars travelling very regularly between the UK and the very south of France (sometimes in one day). (edited)
