pirelli p6000 pretty good in the wet and dry, my old Bf Goodriches just spun in the wet so easy, p6000 = not really.

That's interesting to read Nic, as I have used both Uniroyal Rainsport's and Goodyear Eagle F1's, and found the F1's grippier, as well as lasting about double the time?
I'm not sure if I used Rainsport 1's or 2's, but the F1's were the GSD3's. Both in 195/45/15 btw.

Eagle F1's, they won all the catogories they entered in some tyre thing they do each year including best handling in the wet.

I know, hence why you stating that you were after 40's as 45's look a bit didn't work with what you quoted of mine, as the tyres I used were 195/45/15's. I was just giving a quick review of the tyres I have used, not trying to recommend a tyre size to you.

Eagle F1's all the way, was never impressed with my Toyo's, I found Yoko Parada's pretty good though.
Got Bridgestone Potenza's at the minute and they are excellent.

Dunlop Sport are awsome. Done 42k on one up front. Needs replacing but 42k for a front tyre is really good. Backs look like new still.
£70 a corner for mine but well worth it!
