Tyre recommendations please

For the past number of years i have always bought pirelli P6000s for my car as they always seemed to sit above budget tyres in price (around £70-£75 each), but where a brand, and wore well. Lately and since driving my wifes car i have become more aware that they are really very poor for grip on anything but a warm summers day. Also, my car has never had the lightest of steering, but it seems to tramline at every opportunity and has a very small pull on any camber even though the alignment and all else if fine.

i am due to replace the fronts in the next month or so and am looking suggestions for an improvement.

i am happy to sacrifice some miles for better grip in the wet, but would be keen to keep the price reasonable (not bothered about brand). My driving is a mix of back roads and a roads, some good, some not so good on a 70mile daily round trip to work.

Any advice appreciated.

If all else fails i will buy any other tyre at a similar price because as far as i can see it, they can't be any worse.

Thanks

Colm
