Yokohama AVS Sport is what I am currently running.

Amazing dry grip and incredible wet weather performance, especially resistance to aquaplaning (apparently developed as a wet weather tyre for Formula Atlantic single seaters).

Only problem is wear rates. They're fairly soft rubber so wear can be high if you're doing big mileage.

I guess we can't have it all :(

Even the tread pattern plays a part for me, sad I know!

for the best wear rate i've ever had + almost the best grip = Goodyear F1 GSD3 on my TT,

having chewed through my OEM Pirelli P6000's in 15k the F1's (latest GSD3) have now lastest 21k !

amazing considering the cars been chipped and there is a hell of a lot more wheel spin !

if you can get the F1 GSD3's in the smaller size, I know you CAN get then down in 15" sizes, they are well worth while !

best grip ever = bridgestone S02 .. while they were new, first 3k miles were amazing, but they were too soft initially, they did last till 12k but they grip was never there again !
