to be honest I always thought the A539s were budget tyres, they came with a deal I got on alloys and werent very impressive to be honest
Good ones are like dunlop SP sport ones but theyre about 75 quid each for 14s

got a set of wanlang or something tyres on mine.. (budget crap) but cant fault them. grip in the wet and in the dry, only problem is if you try doing a lil burn out well it wont work. just heats the tyres up and they grip the road to much so it kills the engine. 
£25 a tyre and im impressed with them.
