Not 4wd but I can totally recommend Hankook Ventus V12 EVO.

99% of the tyre working well depends what you are trying to get out of it/them.
Toyo are fine if they suit your driving, 888 are overpriced and NOT as good as AO48 yoki, due to the massive price rise over the years, also crap with standing water, as any tyre of that design/type would be, so maybe not best on a road car unless it never goes out in the rain ?

Thanks for the replies.

I've run pradas 3 times, and loved them, cheap as, good in the dry and last a fair amount of time!

Just wondered if there was a tyre that suited the saff well. I do like the look of the hankook.

I'm not bothered about a tyre that's good in the wet, as it won't be driven in the wet, and I'm not crazy in the wet anyways!

I did even wonder about getting the bridgestone potenza's??

I've used the PP 1 and 2, not even talking the same language as the hankooks, if you found the parada good you will be astounded, not just with grip but noise and comfort also, as well as wear with the hankooks, they grip better in the wet than the paradas do in the dry.
