sorry

I've got the Falkens and they have good grip and predictable dry or wet. Quiet and comfortable
as well. For out and out sports tyre though the Goodyear F1 has had the best results when
tested by professionals so you can't go wrong with them .

Drifters favourite tyre nuff said.

Goodyear fan here....

GSD3s are good in the dry, as are most tyres, but they're amazing in the wet.

Don't choose the toyo's. Not the best for good handling .

The best on your list for the money are the Avons IMHO.

running avon ZZ3, cant say if they are better than the others here as only had run flats b4
215/40/17 as well, but i am very happy with them for dry grip, not had enough rain to comment about the wet yet, whats the warrenty about, missed that when i got mine?

I went for the Toyos in the end. I read quite a few tyre reviews and they all put the Toyo above the Avon in all categories, and rougly on par with the Goodyears - so for the price I decided Toyo

I'll post my opinion of them after theyre fitted tomorrow (weather permitting a decent run)

Thanks for all your help

Ye they're fine - a massive improvement over the Kumho Ecstas that were on before, althought I havent had chance to try them in the wet.

Paradas, not to good in the wet, but I like it as you can have fun in the wet but as its slower speeds its very predicatable and controlable.

In the dry they're nothing short if amazing.

I had Falken FK-451's which were better in the wet than the paradas but I felt where a but snappy when they did let go in the wet, but that was probably due to the higher speeds. In the dry though not a patch on the Paradas.

I also had toyo T1-S's for a short time (came on the wheels but where heavily worn) which were okay in the dry. GF has these and theyre good in the wet, but never push her car she'd kill me
