Best tyres allround but fav wet at resonable price - RE001 vs armorgrip vs ??

i'm looking for the best tyres for all round condition and excellent in wet conditions
i've read good things about both these tyres. anyone have any experience with either? hopefully some with the armourgrip?

Bridgestone Turanza ER300 are excellent tyres, they are quiet, and grip fantastic in the dry and wet, and are also comfortable.

Best value wet and dry tyres I had were 235/35 r18 BF goodrich G force profilers at $200 each. Very sticky in all conditions and last ages. (had them on my old car for 18 months then used them to pass my newer cars rwc, drove on them for a while still and they are now in the shed for spares with over 70% tread).

Yokohama C-Drives are an excellent tyre for wet weather grip and last well.
Re001 are now obsolete. Youll get the re002s. I have a set, nice and quiet and grip well
do you have the GT Radials Champiro HPY? try it and IMHO its really good value for money, excellent traction in the dry and dare i say its just as good as my goodyear Asym F1
How hard can it be?
Pirelli P6 are pretty top notch in the wet, about $105 for 205/65. However in the dry on open roads, I find they are too soft for me.

I'll be he comes to get you, some shopping trolley kind of thing, that gets you where your going nice and slow... Well off you go that's fine, the pleasure's all mine.

VT V6 wanting 300RWHP
Pirelli Pzero Nero! When they were brand new I could floor my car in the wet and they would barely spin.
VT V6 fitted with DMS gold 40mm coilovers, Whiteline adjustable swaybars & strut brace, 330mm AP racing brakes, Rebuilt 3.45:1 LSD and a Powerdyne supercharger

i found pirellis just wayyy too soft... good grip of course but just not long wearing
as always better to buy a brand name rather than a no name... even shit that Bog James reckons is 'as good as the expensive stuff'
Has anyone had BCT S800 SPORTS TYRE on there car? If so what are they like?
Haha thats why there $75 each. Cheers mate.

Ive found Maxxis Victras to be great in the wet, 245s allow me to get power down in the wet with some throttle control.
Silver Certified.
Had Turanza ER300 on my VY S from new. Great tyre and lasted nearly 70K.Bridgestone Turanza ER300 are excellent tyres, they are quiet, and grip fantastic in the dry and wet, and are also comfortable.
Replaced again recently with ER300's. They're now made in Japan, not Australia like originals were.
They're not bad, but don't seem as grippy around corners as the originals. Still not bad though.
The tread wear rating is slightly higher now too I think, that might have made the difference.
Hey, this set might last even longer!
