So I need a couple of rear tires for my 07 Ford Cmax. Given that I've never bought tires for a car before, are there any obvious choices I should be looking at, any obvious places I should be going to (I'm near London) and how much am I looking to pay?
Any obvious rear tire choices for an 07 Cmax?

Where's that dude from last time that wanted to put CSC3s on a Raymond's Yaris?
Anyway - What size does the C-max need growse? I'm sure the OcUK masses can find you a bargain.

I ended up with some Hankoos V12 Evo from blackcircles
You say that, it's currently got CSC2's in 205/50 R17. Blackcircles currently wants £147 for one of those. That's quite a lot
*edit* just did a search, and they're all expensive. Stupid 17" wheels. Eagle F1's at £138, although if I go down to a V speed I can get Toyo Proxes CF1 at £98 each.

Narh, someone will come and tell you they can be had for £110 each unfitted elsewhere, delivered to your work because you are never home, and then roll it a mile from the office to the train station and then transport the tyres back on rush hour train, and then roll it another mile home when I get off the train. Or I could get a taxi at the cost of £5 each end, times that over the course of 4 days (£40)...that is if I got room at work to store 4 tyres under my desk in an open plan office lol then book a mechanic to fit them for like £10 a tyre.
What other brands did blackcircle comes back with?

CS3 then 
I'd highly recommend Pirelli Cinturato P7s.
They offer excellent grip whilst being quite a long-lasting tyre. CS3s don't last very long at all.
I put P7s on the S90 over 10,000kms ago and there is plenty of tread left.
CS3s don't last very long at all, but then that's the sacrifice with a very grippy tyre.
