What size do people recomend, i shall be getting a set of Corsa C SXi alloys this week, but they dont have tyres, what size tyres are the best choice, and also what make?

Bear in mind im paying 60 for the alloys, dont want to be spending shed loads on tyres.

Looking for decent grip over how long they will last.
