I had continental sport contacts on my original 16\'s at the start. They work pretty well.

Toyo T1-S are also worth a look.

I really rate Goodyear Eagle F1\'s for the road - although there are a few scare stories of delamination, but i\'m sceptical, as i read them on the internet :D
Melt quite easily on track though :(
I also had a set of Falken FK451\'s, which were really good, and a lot cheaper too - The 452 that replaced them are supposed to be even better. They also held up well on track and didn\'t get too melty :)

Yeah, can\'t go wrong with T1-r\'s IMO. Good choice. :)

Not sure about brand but try 215\'s to give a straighter sidewall.

215\'s tend to be a bit more expensive as they don\'t tend to be a very popular size - 225\'s and 205\'s are probably the cheaper option, both would fit fine :)
