I always spend as much as possible on tyres. End of the day, its probably the biggest safety thing you are buying as its the only thing keeping you in touch with the road!
I had t1rs on my Clones in standard 195/55 size. Were great but wore quickly and although they gripped well, it wasnt well enough even in some standard road situations. Had eagle F1s on my Turinis (which i see as a step up from t1rs) and they seem to wear well but i wasnt impressed at all with the grip! Ive just bought some Michelin pilot sport 3s (PS2s or PE2s are no longer sold and have been replaced with the PS3). They were pricy at £100 a corner but im incredibly impressed. They grip like nothing ive had before on a 306 and they arent even scrubbed in yet.
I did have PS2s on my old saab and although its difficult to compare because its a different car, the level of dry and wet grip was incredible!
