Default tyre choice!!

I know there will be threads like this, but I'm after a updated view on what tyres everyones fitting? I've been looking at bridgestone, dunlop and michieln's, but just that much choice! I'll mainly be using the car only on dry days. CheeRS in advance

I usually only use my 2wd Sapphire on dry days and dry track days and I have 17 inch wheels with 205/40/17 kumo Ecsta V700 medium compound tyres and find the grip they give is superb.

If it's the standard 205/50/15 then there's not much choice.

I plumped for the Dunlop Sport SP01

If 205/50/15 my Hankook v12's are very grippy but have a very flexiable sidewall and has affected handling/feedback.

Toyos & Falkens up front are my usual favourites with a nice balance of grip and cost.
At the rear? Any old Chinese plastic usually, lol.
