...need a "Performance" tyre.
Michelin used own the Citroen car company from 1934 until 1976.
During the World War 2 , the allies relied heavily on the Michelin range of maps, when planning the Operation Overlord (D-Day landings) on the 6th of June 1944.
The size of a tyre is measured thus:-
We will take a common size tyre as an example - 195/70R x 16 82 V.
"195" is the width of the tread in mm, "70" is the aspect ratio in % (the height of the ... ...You checked the recently?

Great experience
Review of E tyres by
Ishmail
Advantages: Cheaper, no waiting around, no up-selling
Disadvantages: No old, oil-stained magazines to read while waiting
I've just bought four new tyres for my wife's Micra and, rather than spend an hour in a cold and cheerless tyre centre waiting room, I found e-Tyres on the interweb. This is a service which comes to you and fits the rubber where it's convenient to you - at home or work or wherever.
I found the prices were competitive (and quoted all-in, with balancing, valves and fitting, rather than all those vital things being seen as "extras", which I like). ... ...brands to high performance, and one phone call sorted it all out - although you can book directly through the website, too.
I was sent a confirmation email, and the local e-Tyres franchise chap rang me to confirm a time to do the job.
The next day a big white van arrived on time, the bloke did the job in about 50 minutes, and then asked me to witness him using a hand torque-wrench on the wheel nuts, so not only are they on properly but there's ...

Advantages: Very good grip, especiallly in winter.
Disadvantages: Only the cost.
...a good look at the Pirelli website, http://www.pirelli.co.uk/web/default.page
Brand new tyres will need running in, then checking as often as you can, both for pressure, as well as for wear. Nowadays we tend not to rotate our tyres onto different axles, this is a pity because it does even out the wear, making them last longer. One drawback is that all of your tyres will wear out at the same time, and most people prefer to change two at a time. I ... ...should be to me.
Pirelli is of course the same firm that does the famous calendars, I will resist the temptation to add loads of girlie pics. I will just mention that your tyres will look better, and for longer, if you use tyre slick, which will give your rubber a wet look, as well as protecting them against the elements..
I normally give the RRP, but in this case, it obviously depends on the size, there are plenty of outlets, and websites, just ...
