Thanks for all the input chaps.

There seems to be quite an eclectic taste in tyres even at the higher price band with no hard and fast rule of what to buy.

To give you all an idea of my predicament, I recently ran my car at Santa Pod for the first time ever. It was a cool and windy day; but dry.

However, my car has 205/45/16 Yokohama A520s set to approx 28 psi and I scored a couple of realy sh*te runs mainly due to the fact that even when I tried to feather the throttle, as soon as she produced boost; she just wheelspun all the way through 1st and 2nd gear.

I'm after a tyre that doesn't do that, so I can get into fourth and get some reasonable 1/4 mile times.

So, if anyone's managed to get their big power RST up the Pod without spinning all the way through 2nd, i'd love to know what tyres they did it on.

Thanks.

Oh, btw, have any of you folks ever experimented with tyre softener?
