As title really whats best and what have you got

My mate is unsure what tyres would be best on it as he has some budget performance ones on at the moment and they car be a bit scary at times in the wet

He's looking for a good all rounder tyre

I know they get a slating sometimes on here but i've had 2 sets of Yokohama Parada II's and they've been great...

They ain't too expensive either

He did look at them but was put off them because of the bad rep in the wet and the wear rate

It all depends on your drive habits... They aren't super in the wet but i've had other sets which make the car feel like it's gonna end up in the ditch everytime i turn right or left... (Uniroyal/Falkens)

My last set lasted about 6k with a full trackday in the middle at a rough surfaced airbase.
