I fitted Falken FK452's to the front of mine last year. Not bad grip all round, but I do find they tram line more than the Conti's I had, and are wearing pretty quickly too.
I've been looking on
http://www.tyretest.com/ to try and find a better value tyre.
I agree with Col that the Uniroyals look pretty good.

Hankooks are also on my shortlist.

These Hankooks also looked ok, but are V rated and not XL tyres like the rest of mine.
