Default tyres,which ones?im thinking a539

right,im after new tyres on the nova and can get 4 yokohama a539 tyres fitted for 165 quid,are these any good?i know yokos are meant to be good,but have heard theyre a bit soft (its a road car that does a fair few miles) and not as good as others in the wet? its a valver nova and regularly does 3 figure speeds so needs to be a good all rounder really,should i go for them?
other options are (yokos are £41.22 each)
falken ze 512 (43.86)
firestone tz 200 fs(42.57)
kumho ecsta kh 11(43.95)
hankook k 105(44.65)
avon zv3(45.15)
pirelli p5000(45.40)

IVE CHOSEN 195/50/15 V RATED tyres,it currently runs 45 profile tyres but theres loads of space and its 10 quid a corner minimum difference in tyre prices!
which would you go for and why?

I run Yokohama A539's on my 306, no complaints from me. A decent tyre and as you say very reasonably priced

How about Toyo T1S? 195/50/15 £30 a corner, work bloody well wet or dry.

I use them on my road wheels on my Pug 205 Mi16 with no probs...
