Bridgestones SO3 at around 3k for me. Trying out the Toyo,s at the mo and seem just as good. Not in the wet yet as it hasn't been raining, odd for Wales.
Bridgstones are the mutz nutz for grip in wet and dry.

I have been looking for cheaper but the grip seems to have won the argument. Its hard to put the arse out on a roundabout with the Bridgstones and the grip is fantastic. Trying the Toyo's out and its a close one. Toyo's are a bit softer on the ride I think, on the rear but seem to grip as well.
