Question New tyres

I've got a MY05 STI (TSL 333 - wicked)

Standard RE011s are crap, tramlining, wheelspinning when changing up at 90 in the wet....... Worn out after 13000 miles.

What's the best replacement? Need them to be safe in the wet and not so soft they wear out quickly.

Had P-Zero Rosso / Nero on previous Scoob which were good but nothing special. Are Toyos the way forward? Local tyre place say RE070 or Michelin are the mutt's but I'm not convinced.

Any opinions welcomed.

Cheers, Len

Michelin Pilot Sport 2 are supposed to be good.

Personally Goodyear GSD3 F1's.

Toyo T1R's on mine for last 9000 miles - they have been absolutely first class. Changed from Bridgestone and can honestly say I immediately noticed an improvement in ride quality, reduction in road noise and much improved grip in both the wet and dry. An excellent tyre IMHO. Not tried any other tyres on the Scoob though.
