Default FWD tyre options

As title really, what do all you boys running high sort of power FWD cars use on the front?

Currently running 205/40/17 Yoko Paradas, really good tyre in the dry but can struggle in the wet

Not too fussed about road noise or ride as its just a toy. Also dont have a budget to go by either

So what are your opinions folks?

maybe try bridgestone potenza's, i'm in a similar boat at the moment, the a539's are fairly crap, but the r1r's are a bit of an expense i can't afford at the moment either.

Continental sport contacts, it's what they use as stanard on the Focus RS and seems to handle 400bhp through the front wheels!
