good handling?

When it comes to tyres, spend as much ad you can afford! T1rs are good in the rain and last quite well but realistically they are budget. I had Michelin pilot sport 2s on my old car and they were fantastic in all weathers but were £150 a corner and only come in 17" upwards. The pilot exalto however is supposed to be exactly the same, just a smaller version (13" upwards I think) so I will be buying them next. About £60 a corner for a 195/50/15. The gti6 forum rave about them big time.

I always thought continentals were good but I've got continental sport contact 2s on my skoda (not same handling obviously but hear me out) and they grip well in te dry but are noisy and in the rain they are shocking. The aqua plaining is absolutely shocking which obviously is not safe!
