I had F1 GSD2s all round on my S1. I swapped the rears for Yokos and the difference is unbelievable!!! I want the Yokos to wear out ASAP so I can get something better back on there!!
Certainly makes the car go sideways when you least expect it anyway....

I hear Pirelli P zeros are good.
I'm running Dunlop Direzza DZ101's on my Sapphire over here in New Zealand.
I havent had a chance to push them yet, I imagine U.K roads are alot different to the roads down here though?

195 is the tread width
50 (or 45) is a percentage of the tread width that equates to the profile (or height) of the tyre. And for height it means from the edge of your wheel rim to the tread area. So like for like a 45 profile tyre will have a slightly smaller sidewall height than a 50 profile. It will be (approx) 87.75mm high on a 45. And 97.5mm high on a 50 profile. Smaller profiles give better acceleration, but transmit more vibration as the tyre can't absorb as much. Thats (simplified) why F1 cars run such high profile tyres.
15 is obviously the diameter of the wheel rim.
