Rubber equest

The mk2 is nearly finished, new 205's on the rear, but the front 185's need discarding, what should i look for regarding compound and type etc? the car is due to have it's first run with a totally different engine and suspension set up, and i don't know if i need winter tyres, all season ones or........?
It's a road car, not for drifting rallying, drag racing etc etc... but will be quite high performance, any ideas?

a lot will depend on what you can get in any given size. winter tyres have a very soft compound and wear very fast if driven with any real gusto in the summer. one of the grippiest bog standard cheap road tyres you can it are uniroyals

i'll give them a go, i have every intention of changing them when the winter is over, Cheers Graham.
