I've got them and love them. I would advise doing all four though as I found at Bedford I had a lot more grip on the front than on the back

Prada's up front AVS Sports on the back

I personally would go for Goodyear F1's

Yoko's are very good in the dry.....and very bad in the wet

Pradas all round, but as rsjp says they are a bit lively in the wet

I use parada's on my cossie & found them excellent grip wise, even on a trackday they were better than other road tyres i have tried in the past, not as good on track as my R888 though. Got mine from elite wheels & tyres £77 for 215/40/17

I can get em - Yoko Parada 215/35/18s for example are £100 posted

Get a lot of good feedback about them, though have never tried them myself.

cheers
