Hi T5petrol,
I have 17" wheels and replaced original Michelin tyres with Hankook RA23 and didn't noticed any changes to handling, braking or fuel economy. At half the cost of Michelins. Now done 15,000km and I can't see any wearing on them yet. Original Michelins were down to 1mm at 25,000km.
If you're after tyre which would last check out Pirelli tyres as well, but be aware that they could be noisy.
