      hmm superior knowledge...nah. Of the tyres i have had in 7years, here's a rundown on performance:

      Avon zz1 - only bald tyres on and ice rink offer less grip
      Mitchelin Pilot HX MXM - Great motorway tyre, quiet, looooooong life (35k and 3mm still left on the fronts) and nice stiff sidewall.
      Goodyear Eagle F1 GD3 - Fantastic grip in the wet and dry, great looker but shoulders wore out fairly quickly (i guess a sign of good grip levels)
      Toyo T1-s - On a par with the eagles in the dry and better in the wet. Good wear characteristic, especially on the shoulders.
      Michelin Pilot 2 - Quiet, good grip in the dry but they really want to break traction in the wet - terrible understeer on the front with them (only have a pair...thankfully) ended up putting them on the rear and i will get rid in favour of toyos...

      Cheers
