YOKO Adavan AD08's all the way IMHO. Class A rating in the wet and sexytime in the dry.

This. I can't see myself buying any other tyre at the moment. These ad08s are too god dam good.

Using the current Goodyear Eagle Asynchronous XL F1's and have been very impressed by wet and dry grip, feel and (most important I think) progressiveness (Is that a word?). Much better in the wet than my slightly snappy (but very grippy in the dry) old Yoko Advan Sport.

One caveat, however.....I've had two with burst sidewalls in a week from pretty slight pothole impacts with the F1's - certainly impacts when I would not have expected a damaged tyre, and having happened twice it's enough to push me towards trying something else next time. (Running a reasonable 36 psi).

36 is a little high imho. 32 all round seems to be the norm?

Back me up or tell me wrong guys?

I found the F1's I rode to have a softer side wall in the corners.

32 all round is correct for the lude, i'll get a pic up of the sticker on the door as it confirms this.

Well I've used my toyo T1rs for the last year and a half and found the grip excellent in wet and dry these are in 215/45r17 I'm still on the same set with loads of tread although I have probably only done around 5000 on them, they are also pretty good on track as well.
I've also always ran the lude at 32psi

AD08's if you have the budget. Currently trialing Kumho KU36's and pretty impressed so far
