I'd say the good old Toyo R888 then mate
They are like a soft/medium compound cut slick, aimed more at trackdays and fast road etc

I'd go with something a bit more sticky.. toyo also do t1-r's, yokohama parada's which are quite cheap or for something really sticky toyo R888's

Don't forget though if your £39 was a 'budget' then you won't like the R888's at circa £320 for 4

I'd go with the 888s for your usage as well - just as an aside though, there is a big tyre test in EVO mag this month - test car is a Mk5 Golf Gti - fwd , 200bhp ....perhaps pertinent to your enquiry esp for the road use aspect
