Default Tyre Choice

I have always found Eagle F1s to be a good balance between dry and wet grip, as well as lasting a fair amount of time. In fact, their dry grip is very good, and wet grip better than other tyres i've tried.
How do they rate against the Yoko parada 2s - I am particularly interested in wet performance as in it rains a lot here and poor grip is more dangerous and unpredictable in the wet.
What other options would people consider - I am looking for a good tyre, for around £100 a corner (225/40/18).
Cheers

My mate had the Yoko's and didn't feel happy in the wet at all with them. He eventually had different set up of wheels/tyres for summer and winter months.

I've got Michelin PS2's on my car and they are the best I've tried, course everything is just a matter of opinion. You won't find the Mich's for a ton a corner though.

I had Bridgestone Potenza 50's on my WRX 05 did not get on with them so I changed them to Goodyear F1 eagles £315 is what I paid for all four wheels.

Good price I think.
