Yokohama Paradas are quite good. I save my r888's for trackdays, but they are really good
Got a set of Uniroyal Rainsports for wet trackdays last year and they are quite good to

I've got eagles from when I bought it but I don't like them as much as the toyo t1-r's I've had in the past, getting r888's next

normally go for either goodyear f1 or toyo t1-r, both seem very good and dont cost to much really.

T1S is MUCH better than the R.
The R on my astra lasted 6000 miles, the S lasted 16,000 miles, and were better too.
F1's it has on at the moment but never again, not even if FREE would I use these.
I'm going back to UNIROYAL RAINSPORT 2's.
