Tyre Choice

I am about to replace the tyres on my SC, and I am unsure which make/type of tyre I should go for.

The wheels are fuchs, 6" at the front (which I would like to replace with 7" when I can find some and money allows) and 9" at the rear. The tyres are currently a mix of dunlops and pirellis 205/55 R16 up front and 245/45 R16 on the rear.

I have found some tyres on the web for a good prices, but I was wondering if other people have had good/bad experiences with the tyes or whether I should get 'N' rated tyres as I was advised to when changing the tyres on the 17" Cups that were previously on the car.

The tyres I am considering at the moment are:
Kumho Ecsta 712 (£305 fitted approx)
Toyo Proxies T-1S (£335 fitted approx) or
Bridgestone Potenza S-02 'N3' rated (£435 fitted approx)

I generally drive the car when its dry at the weekends, and have no plans to use it on a track day at the moment.

Any help or advise will be gratefully recieved, as I am not sure what to do for the best.[:D]
