What car tyres do you recommend? Handling/road feedback is important.

At £60 you are looking at budget tyres. If you can stretch your budget you can get Toyo Proxes @ £69 fully fitted. Look on the Blackcircles web site.

If they only hit lampposts and trees I may not care so much but they don't and people who would rather spend money on task aways and down the pub as opposed to buying good quality rubber for their cars are just as bad as those who drive without proper brakes or MOTs.

Buying rubber for the car shouldn't be about getting away with as little as possible.

I would suggest Barum Bravuris 2 (made by Continental), a very good tyre with excellent wet weather grip and long life

There are plenty of cheap, budget, unknown tyres out there, but there are also genuine bargains to be had.

My neighbour knows a bit about cars and is also a tightwad but he's recently changed from cheapo tyres [I don't know what make] to Pirelli P7s for his Avensis estate.

Hero are a very good budget tyre, you can get two deliverd for £90 http://www.allnewtyres.co.uk/view_Basket.asp then with a tenner each fitted locally, comes in under budget at about £55 each. I've a pair on each of my cars, and they are excellent.

Again if you can push the budget a bit you'll get a set of Kumho KU31's which are a decent enough tyre, fitted for £66 each.

Those or proxes are about the best I can find close to your budget - I personally wouldn't put any budget tyre on so would spend the little bit more for a mid range like these at a minimum but it's your call really.
