Ben defintly go for the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric one of the best tyres if not the best and i'm used Michelin Sport cups !
But the Mich Pilot Sport Cups are a semi-slick tyre, and are
NOT suitable for everyday road use. Have a prang on the road, with the slightest amount of wet ("mildly moist" in TopGear speak), and you will probably be prosecuted by the old bill, and your insurance will be invalid.
And there is massive criticism, along with equal dollops of praise for the Eagle F1 Asymmetrics - so whilst they
may be good, they also have some serious flaws, which Goodyear themselves have been advised of! I really don't know how peeps can recommend a product which is known to have faults.
Failing that get Michelin PS2's or the Bridgestone equivalent.
Bridgestones are also poor, and these too have been complained about on this very forum for very poor grip in the wet. The last "decent" tyre which Bridgestone made was the "S-02 Pole Position", but that has long since been discontinued, and even when it was available, was still overshadowed (but not by much) by the original directional Mich Pilot Sport.
All three of the above tyres are great in the wet/dry and give a good ride !
Sorry, but the Bridgestones are crap in the wet. Search the forum for tyres under username "Schrodingers Cat" (or however you spell it).
Judging by the high mileage you do, semi slicks out of the eqaution ?? ie Michelin Pilot Sport Cups / Toyo T1 R s ?
I'm sorry, but that is blatantly stupid, and completely irresponsible advice. You should NEVER recommend using semi slick tyres for normal road use. Even the tyre manufacturers themselves specifically state they should not be used on normal roads, with some serious disclaimer like - "you should be a professionally trained driver, fully familiar with racing style tyres, and be very prepared for a lack of grip in wet or cold conditions". These should only be used on production-based race cars, or on road-going cars when used on track days and the like
