It's more about wet grip than price for me. Very little difference in grip in the dry with most tyres on the road. But in the wet there's a huge difference when you start to push on or have to make evasive action. Can pretty much drive the same in the wet as in the dry with A rated wet grip tyres like Dunlop Sport BlueResponse or Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance (not the same as the slippery old non-performance version!).
T1Rs always used to be recommended on here but they are horrific in the wet, almost as bad as the OE P6000s - but remember the P6000s were OE 20 years ago and tech moves on. The old Goodyear Efficient Grip were also not as grippy as their name would suggest. So as I say, just paying more doesn't make a tyre better, some of the big brands are also ditch finders unless you drive like an old lady in the rain...
