Hi mate i run a tyre shop, if you want something grippy but don't want to spend the earth then you can't go far wrong with a barum bravuris 2.

Very similar compound to continental sport contact 3's but massively cheaper.

I sell raft's of em in 17" and people come back for em again and again, they sound perfect for what your'e after.
