Tried them all apart from the Avons. Pirelli do the P-zero Corsa as well.
A048 is nice, looks very spunky.
Dunlop Supersport race were actually the best though according to Steve Scott and a race driver Friend of mine Niki Faulkner.
But if it was me I'd get the new Dunlop D02. It looks as good as the Yoki 48 does, and if it works as well as the Supersport race then its going to be the bollox!

hahah Sierra is going to be wearing A048's when it hits the road next week! 
You DON'T want to be driving very fast through any standing water with these though.

SCC's Rob is running those Yoko thingies and seems impressed with them 
After being in the passenger seat at the Beds meet I have to admit to being quite impressed with the grip as well

Rob's Focus is running Yokohama Parada.
They are a fantastic tyre, but very different from the A048 range!

standing water...... if my westie thinks there is water within a 100 mile radius it goes dangerous on its A048s! 
Watty had dunlop formula Rs on his evo - worked amazingly well in dry too - maybe better in wet than yokos but hard to tell as the car drove itself anyway
lol
