do you know what make you have on there? if they are Dunlop 220's then they are the originals and were only OK tyres to begin with, the cheaper end are metz z6's (or now superseded by Z8's), diablo strada's, Conti road attack's, the more expensive are the Storm Ultra's (like Mike I use those), dunlop road smarts, michelin Pilot roods (either 2's or 3's), and then the latest from bridgestone (although I've not been a fan of the last 10 years worth of there tyres myself), but as Mike says there is a whole section on tyres in that link.

Cheers Mark.
