I dont think you can beat Yokohama parada spec II's, not quite as good as others in the wet but SERIOUSLY good in the dry, they do where fast though as the compound is quite soft.
Personally i go for grip over longevity every day of the week. Its not just about grip when hooning, but also in an emergency.
Did you know an F1 team spends more on tyres than any other single part of the car, its the only point of contact between the car and the road, so all that power and powerful brakes mean nothing if the tyres dont grip. Its a point thats often overlooked by fast road users.
