Ive only ever had two types of tyers, T1R's and Goodyear F1 AS2's.
The goodyear's are better for my car i reckon. More progressive breakaway, better wet grip, better feel in the dry. I will try the verdi's next i think.

As many say...really depends on your budget 
I fitted a set of Falken FK 452's last year on my P1 as I did'nt want to shell out silly money for the top brands and I think it's a great tyre for the money.
Also depends on your driving ability, for me the Falkens are perfectly suited to my driving ability and I'll almost always reach the height of my driving ability before the reaching the tyres grip limits....
Good tyre in both the dry and wet...
I paid circa £360 fitted and balanced last year if that helps....
Also had a set of their Zeix 912's on another of my cars and they were great too...

I've tried 3 sets of tyres so far;
Yoko Parada Spec 2s - Excellent dry performance, shockingly bad wet performance. Fun but not practical snow performance. Noisy.
Toyo Proxy T1Rs - Mediocre dry performance, poor wet performance. Average snow performance. Pretty quiet by all means.
Avon ZZ3s - Excellent dry performance (Although they go off after a few miles of intensive hooning), pretty good wet performance. Haven't tried in the Snow yet. Quietest so far.

Intensive hooning = AD08's

michelin pilot exalto PE2. Excellent tyre. Great for cornering. Good wearing too. Sadly they don't do 16" any more and the pilot sports are very expensive. Next I'll try Nokian Z G2 and will report back.
I think the 2 things that really repay are suspension geometry, an uprated rear ARB and good tyres.
