Get some Eagle F1 Asymmetric tyres, just been out on them after swapping back from the track rubber and they have amazing wet weather grip.

Got to agree. Amazing tyre full stop. Best tyre I have used in 11years of S/RS ownership.

I was genuinely suprised driving it yesterday as I haven't driven in heavy rain for some time and the grip was phenomnal. I'm sure that there are other modern tyres that are going to be as good but having not tried them I can't comment...

You put your foot down in the wet while turning and your suprised you lost grip? Im guesing your new to performance cars?

well no not really, the thing that cought me off guard was the ease at which it spun..

with the stock 16" wheels on the car felt much better, grip in the wet was excellent, I think its got more to do with the new 18" wheels and tyres and not sure on the tyre pressures etc..
