With the mrs bashing tyres left rift and centre and the cheapest I can get continentals fitted etc fir the price is £85 a pop (196/45/16) what other tyres can I get for the old calamity doris who drives like a typical woman and don't low down for kerbs when she parks up ?

You have to remember that this is a town shopping trolley that has only seen the motorway once. The sidewalks are a bit stiff and there is no give in them, which makes it handle brilliantly but it's a bit of a pain when it comes to tackling speed mountians.

Anyone got any real world experince different makes?
