Buy the most expensive you can afford (from the cheapest seller, of course).
Then at least you can eliminate the 'If only I'd paid a bit more' factor.

Ive recently changed from Pirelli's to Goodyear Eagle F1s (better rating in the wet) on my 19s, on the rears this time I went for 255/35/19 instead of 255/30/19. The Goodyears cost just under £600 for the four.

Can't beat the old MPSS IMHO. Coming to the end of my second set, having had Conties, VReds and MPS previously. So for sure I will be buying for a new set of Michelins. If I can find another set they will be MPSS. If not then the experiments start once more?
Note: I am on my oiginal 18's though.

The Vredstein seem to be well liked.
I’m leaning towards them when I ditch the run flats
Not literally I hope.

Yep, after reading lots of reviews here and elsewhere I went with Eagles, great grip in both wet and dry and will be using them all year round, couldn’t be arsed with summer/winter wheels tyres cost/combinations. Don’t intend using the car in the snow so sure they will be more than ok with a bit of common sense thrown in. Throughtly recommend.

I agree, and I don't run winter tyres either.
Although it's worth noting that winter tyres outperform summers in any condition under 7 degrees c.
It's 7 degrees here at the moment, so even on a bone dry road the winters are going to be outperforming the summers.

I thought that the 7C was road temperature, not air temperature?

You could be right! But at night the road temp is often lower than air.

Out perform, in what respect, caneing it around bends etc, I’m sure if you drive to the conditions all tyres are ok to a certain extent, winter tyres are better I would think, but most of the time under road legal speeds summer tyres are fine, anyway I hope so as I intend to use the car all year round on my Eagles (apart from black ice, snow conditions etc)

Consider the reason why the Michelin’s are normally the most expensive & people still buy them.
With 4 small bits of rubber between me & my maker, when I now buy new since 2010 I’ve bought nothing else & never regretted it.
HOWEVER, 7 degrees & below found their summer tyres become more dangerous the colder it got
