Diablo Stradas are rather good, if perhaps a little old fashioned now.
Good in the wet too and should last you 6000 miles.

Angel ST are even better, a more modern tyre with dual compound.. also good in the wet.

Those Ebay tyres are very cheap, they often sell off old stock, marked down.
Make sure you ask the seller for the date stamp on the tyres that you will receive.
It is a 4 digit code. 1st 2 digits are the week number. 2nd two are the year.
So 3415 will be week 34 of 2015.

You shouldn't use a tyre more than 5 years old, so just check that you will have them worn out no more than five years from the code date.

Some tyre fitters are funny about fitting ebay tyres, and they won't fit them at all if they are out of date.... It's about £10-£15 a wheel for fitting and balancing.
