I phoned my local VW dealer. Fully fitted set of either Hankook, Bridgestone or Conti for £430. Basically what ever they have in stock.

That's a good deal! Will be on the phone to the dealers on Monday morning to see if I can snap them up cheaper there. Best price I have is for Nanking for £90 each in 225/45/17

go for the Continental tyres (Best in test in Scandinavia)

Nankangs are fitted on my car atm, the best ones are Nankangs NS2. £90 a pair isn't too bad, I did find a set of 4 Nankangs NS2 for my 19's for £234.

tyres are like a good pair of shoes you get what you pay for

Blimey......45 quid a corner! Most important part of the car....personally would feel a bit safer with something more 'european'....
