Currently have proxes on the car, however they are due for replacements and i need some advise.

I do "use" the car, and im not overally fussed about how long they last, i want good performance (soft compound i guess)

Ive only ever had proxy's to be honest but the they are shocking in the wet.

i have been looking at rainsports, but open to other suggestions experiences....

I went from Toyos to Goodyear Eagle F1's and they're great. Much better in the wet!

Ive got Bridgestone Potenza S03's on at the moment and altho the grip is good they tramline like a bastard. Well know for it apparently?

When my car was in for service I took a Tuscan with Eagles on it out and it was a different car! They are next on the shopping list after the decats with chip!

I wouldnt use R888 in anything other than the dry and summer.

And Yoko A539's are lethal in the wet.
