When I thought I was going to be out of work in a few months, I bought High Performer HS-2s for my 9-5 from Mytyres. They're okay, not exceptional grip but not terrible, not quiet but not horrendous, and at £53 a corner (225/45/17XL) reasonably cheap. I don't think I'd get them again unless the work situation dicatated it, but they've lasted well.
