looked all over the web for a good set of rubber but hate buying from sites i have no feedback from. Any one got some good advise on what sites to trust and more importantly what rubber to go for?

Iv used Mytyres
http://www.mytyres.co.uk/start.html in the past - fast delivery cant fault.
Most tyre places like National tyres will have a pricematch policy so just tell em where youve been quoted cheaper and theyll probably beat it.

Bought last two sets of tyres from there. Recommended to friends who all saved money and got good service.
Most common tyres are Goodyear Eagle F1 GSDs and Michelin Pilot Sports. Toyos good but noisy and wear quick.
I have Kumho Ecsta on mine and I like them, cheap (especially in 18") and do the job nicely.

I just put some Falken ZE 512's on the front - ordered from
www.blackcircles.com. Couldn't fault the service. If you are changing all 4, might be worth placing 2 orders as you will get a discount off the second 2 - equivalent to £6 a tyre in my case.
Actually I'll get a fiver if I refer you, what's your email address

Someone told me recently that they got 40,000 miles from a set of tyres!
Cant remember if it was at the last Northern Meet or during my recent visit to MRC (GrahamS4 or ash318??)
Who was it? What tyres were they?? Did I dream it???

I like the toyos but my experience was the same as KayGee's.
Using Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's now. Very good all round and they seem to wear well.
