Im running Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta, very good piece of kit. Loads of grip and especially good in the wet.
They have a strange tread pattern which makes one side look like they're on the wrong way, but they are good tyres. Not cheap mind ~£550 for a full set.

I didn't even pay that for the Mich's!!
I did look around pretty hard too.
Get almost zero wheel spin with a hard launch in my stock FR 150 TDI.

Christ, I just had a look online, the price has bombed on these loads!
Can get them for ~£100 a corner now.
The Michelins are average at best ... totally over hyped tyre and over priced to boot.. I've had the Pilot Sport 2/3 as has my mate with his Audi S3 ... we both agree the Hankook Evo V12 outperforms them by quite some margin!

Heard great things about these... may try next
I was recommended the Vreds as well, on this forum and at work even!
Apparently they're the dog's n00tz!!
I've found them for 93 per tyre. Or 107 per tyre fitted and balanced.
Definitely going on soon.

Thats odd, I've found them really good on other cars, Had PE2's on My DC2, and ive yet to find a tyre as good.
Ive had a small experience with the hankooks and wasn't too won over by them if im honest?
Similar to the Yoko Parada Spec 2.
Kumho are good tyres and cheaper than others. However, with tyres, you should not look to scrimp, as it is the only thing keeping you in contact and therefore control on the road.
TBH mate a lot of tyre opinions are down to 'confidence' ... if your happy with them then that's cool.
I've used a lot of the Hankooks and have only really been impressed with the Evo V12's and the RS2's ... the others are average tyres tbh.
Whilst I love the Evo V12's I do think they are a bit noisy compared to some brands ... but you can't have it all! ... especially not at £90 per corner fitted
- Currently on my THIRD set!! 
Evo v12's here too, for the price they are I'm no even thinking of swapping to something else.
I KNOW what my car can do in the dry and wet with them on, loads of fun!

I`m running the Hankooks on the front of mine, much better than the Barum i had on there before, plenty of grip in the wet and for about £125 delivered and a mate in the trade to fit them for a couple of beers, a very good price.

I've got Pirelli pzero rosso's on mine very good in both wet and dry and decent wear rate to say how much abuse they get.
