Hi,



I'm looking at getting a new set of tires as I feel my Yoko A510's aren't

sticky enough. Does anyone out there have any recommendations for ultra high

performance tires in the 195/50 15 or 205/50 15 size?



I read a post by Richard Dekker a couple of months ago on tire tests done by

Goodyear. The Toyo Proxies T1 performed well in the tests but I was

wondering whether anyone has tried them yet and could give their opinions on

it. I was also quite surprised at the results of the Dunlop SP8000. A lot of

people seem to recommend it on the list but they didn't perform very well. 



There're so many brands out there claiming that their tire performs the

best. Really confused as to which tire to choose. I'm looking for something

that has fantastic dry & wet handling. I don't really care about noise or

ride quality as long as it sticks like glue. Any suggestions?
