I stick to Michelin - loooooong tyre life - got 90k of motorway miles
out of a full set. Wet grip is err iffy at best though. Tried some Toyos
but they lasted 6k and wet weather grip was only marginally better.

D Turbo here as well

I had the same brand on my 405, Dturbo 306 and S16 and found they were
great.
Avon ZV1s, they are now redundant as Avon have moved to ZV3s, and I have
just has some put on my 406 they seems at least as good so i'd say you'd be
hard pressed to find something better for the same cost.

My 1995 Peugeot 306 ran very nicely on Michelin Certis tyres. They were
the quietest tyres that I have ever owned, comfortable, durable and
cornered well.

Im using federal SS595s, cheaper tyre (?50+vat for a 215 40 17) and expected
it to be lower quality but im more than impressed - easily outperforms my
Rainsport 1s that were nearly treble the price. Most tyre places can get
them in next day.

Thats a german link obviously but they're available throughout the UK.
Apparently big in japland.

pirelli p6000. best wet grip going. wear a bit quick on front end though but
then diesels do.
as good as the goodyear eagle f1 i have on my astra
