PS4's if you're not worried about snow/super wet performance.

You don't mention budget or mileage requirements, but if you're after super performance at lowish miles I can heartily recommend AD08R's, amazing tyres.
Probably do 8-10k miles a year, got 330 bhp coming through the front wheels!

Not considered AD08R

BTW OP, you don’t mention the sizes involved. If the PS4S isn’t available in your size then the MPSS is the alternative.
225/40 R18

I am running a golf edition 30 with 330bhp

I've heard the PS4s don't last long at all, so for me I need something that has me changing once every 8k or so, I could stomach that.

As the weather is poor and I live in the north west something that handles the wet weather is a must too.

Loads of suggestions so far much appreciated!

Another vote for the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5's. Just got a new set of front tyres and I only have good things to say about them. Grippy in the dry and pretty decent in the wet too. Loads of confidence in them and bought them for £86 a corner.
Have you got a front wheel drive?
