Default tyres recommendation for cq

Any one recommend decent tyres for my cq. Came home tonight to find a massive gash in the side wall - looks suspiciously like someones slashed it

On there at the moment are Michelin 205/50 r15. Dont want a budget tyre, but a good decent tyre. I seem to remember a friend fitting yokos on his cq.

Cheers
Andy

Another recommendation for Continental, I get at least 28k miles out of a set on my A4 quattro, 8k more than the factory fit Dunlops!

I wouldn't be buying them from kwik Fit, shop around the little tyre places for the best price.
Don't know your location but I do know a decent cheap place in London and also one in Essex.
