Boy's running Nankangs, but they're no good traction wise. Actually had good results on my falfa with Yokohama A539's. Grips like chewie to a thong but it doesn't seem to wear fast

If you don't want to spend the earth then Pirelli make a good 165/65/13 for around $90 per corner, or further down the scale my Hankooks cost about $70 and have marginal grip. (Much better than Bob-Jane "Out of rounders" though.

)
But if you want supreme grip, then the yoko's can't be beaten - but at $180 per shoe for 175/50/13 they're on the pricey side.
But as with
most things price is relative to performance.

I've been telling you for ages Colin, it needs to come up anyway, mate! What's with the ugly 1-inch gap between the bonnet and the grille!?

That's not a bonnet gap! it's a slimline bonnet scoop to feed cool air to the rocker cover!

Yokies A539 195/45-r15 if you want a little more clearance.
A bit taller than 165/65-r13
Grip to boot.
