Camskill had 225/45/17 Toyos for just over 60 quid a piece a few weeks back - got some in my loft waiting to go on :)

Yoko A048s for me all the way!!!
 
Grip levels are supreme :3gears-lh On the down side they do wear quite quickly but thats just the price you have to pay.
 
Normally source mine from Elite Direct in Rainham, Essex.

With my toyo\'s i found on track once they are very warm the sidewalls go quite soft which although you dont loose grip do make the car move around quite a bit!

I\'ve had Toyo T1Rs, and am now on Yoko Parada Spec2s... I rate them both very highly, but the paradas were cheaper (this time round) and look sooooo sexy...I don\'t know if they grip better, or something inside me tells me they do ;)

T1Rs are very good road tyres but as Rob mentioned they don\'t have a particularly stiff side wall for track work but stick to 5 lap sessions and they be fine. The two Falken tryres I\'ve had 512 and 912 are again good road tyres but will fade earlier than the Toyos on track maybe even spirited road driving.
 
Kumho KU31 (hard to get now) or KH39s are quite similar to the T1Rs and usually a similar price.

Not mentioned yet, but my FD rolls on Maxxis MA-Z1 Victra\'s, and I think there brilliant. Good grip in the wet, and supergrippy when dry.
I\'ve used them for trackdays too, and when they\'re hot, on track, they offer splendid grip. I love them!!

michelin pilot sport, the best tyres i have ever used

I have used Toyo T-1R before on my old civic and found the side wall are too soft but grip wise is very good in dry and wet... Now on the fd I have Bridgestone Protenza RE050a and they are brilliant, side wall is so much harder so no flex when under hard cornering... Down side is that the tyre has bad noise level... But never mind that the exhaust will cover all that ;-)

I chose the toyo\'s but that because I simply started with them on all previous cars and never looked elsewhere.
