It really depends on what car you have, and your driving style.
Is it driven in the dry/wet?
Is it driven hard?
Big car with power?
Big car with no power?
Small car with power?
Sherman tank?
There's a lot of factors.
For example, DannyB Says he likes his prada spec2's on his 106,
But I on the other hand found them deadly on my Astra.

I'm a tyre tech, And I still hate people coming into work and asking me what tyres they should buy.
It's pot luck tbh. buy a tyre and either like it or hate it.

I'm going to go with rainsports on the civic, they got rave reviews and came in better than the Bridgestone re040's
On my old corsa I had f1's, fantastic tyres in wet or dry.. Can't say snow phased them either like people reckon

Yokahama S-Drives are very good, but do seem to wear very quickly, in a 2.0XE Corsa

Yep, alot of people with 106's/saxo's etc run these and say great things about them.
