The best I've tried to date has been the Pilot Sport 3s.

But do have a search. Before his departure AM1W posted quite comprehensive reviews on almost every tyre for both winter and summer. It was a while ago so perhaps some fresh rubber designs have been released but I'm sure it will still be most helpful.

Yep, good info HERE

I'm sticking with the Michelin PS3s when the winters come off.  :smiley:

If that's the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymetricals...then yes.
Great tyres in the wet and dry...but not good below 5 degrees C....but show me a high performance summer tyre that is.

GoodYear ASYM2 is what I have - they are a little slippy until they get heat into them then they are brilliant  :wink:
