Hello all, a request for a bit of tyre advice if you would be so kind.

I had some Mich Pilot Alpines fitted in December ready for our driving trip to Denmark, which was a bit of a waste given the mild winter, but at least they've come in hand the past couple of weeks in the UK

However I'm already looking forward to summer and wondering what suggestions people had for when I swap the winter tyres out.

The specs for my L&K (150bhp, or was when new!) are 205/55 R 16 speed rating on the old tyres was W although the Alpines are V speced.

Any set of characteristics I should give priorities too to aid in suggestions?

I know when I was getting a new dunlop that the guy did say that about the best for the balance of life to grip is the sport pilots.

Well I can afford to loose a bit on the life, given I'll have these winters to swap back to next winter, and I average about 12k a year, so nothing too strenuous.
