Re: Tyre choice?

I'm also in the market for tyres for my +2.
I'm looking for 165/80/13 tyres on steel rims for road use - about 5,000 miles a year in dry and wet conditions. Particularly looking for something that works with the precise handling of this car in mid-price range rather than the best possible grip.
Reading these posts and talking to a few dealers I decided that Dunlop SP10's would be best for me but find they were discontinued six months ago and can't find stock - any pointers to 5 SP10's would be welcome.
Next choice on the basis of a Best Buy Which report would have been the Bridgestone B330 Evo but have noted the poor reviews on this thread - would the handling problems be noticeable if I was only using the car for road rather than track?
Any other suggestions / reviews would be welcome - including Uniroyal Rallye 680, Goodyear Duragrip and Toyo 350?
