I Use Yoko A539s. Prefer them to most other ones that i've tried. Also look good.

a539's are crap in the wet
if you can afford them, get the F1 eagles, though Toyo Proxes are going for £30 a corner on
or Pirelli P ZERO Asimmetrico, which are the daddies!! and they are £42 a corner

yoko's around £55 a corner. I think there good in the wet and have no problems yet and I do push the car pretty hard. Snow and ice is a joke though. I cant even reverse in them if theres snow on the road. lol.

Mate they are awful for our weather in the rain they have no grip.
Over in the sun where you are I could imagine they are good though

I have had no problems with my 539's. I know yoko's used to be really poor in the wet but they have improved loads from a handling in the rain point of view.

might not be as bad as we're coming into spring/summer.
but, im still amazed how cheap the pirelli p-zero's are. if i was in need of new tyres as be biting the hand of them to get p-zero's at £42 each!!
