Default Best tyres for a scooby

Which are the best tyres any of u lads are runing at the moment.Only had my WRX RA for 4 weeks will need new tyres soon was thinking about fitting michelin exalto pe2's as i had these on my clio 182 and they provide good grip in wet and dry. Any advice appreciated.

Thanks

Define best?

Cheapest
Best wet grip
Best dry grip
Best for both
Best for track?

I ran Goodyear F1's on mine and also Toyo's and both were very good. Cant say as I remember a big difference between the two sets.

I'm on my second set of Toyo's. The first set lasted 16 months... result! This time I've learned my lesson - I'm switching front to back 6 months in so should see a further few months of wear

Default My experience over last 30k

Bridgestone RE070 - Awesome in the dry, scarey in the wet.
Toyo T1S - Very good wet or dry. Soft and wear quickly. Soft walls reduce cornering confidence.
Vredestein UltraC - Almost RE070 dry performance with almost Toyo wet performance. Superb compromise and £65 a corner.

Their A539 put me off their tyres for life. Others in their range may be very good, but once bitten...
