ive got a set of 235/45/17 gemstones on the vs, they grip well both wet and dry, alot better than the bald savas, and i run maddison 215/65/14 (never heard of them before) on my old girl, dry they're fine but damn do they slide in the wet, they were cheap when needed, even cut costs by fitting them myself, $120 all up, and they last, I just adjust my driving in the wet, so it don't slide or spin.
But value for money, you can't go past the khumos bridgestones firestone and toyo, for high profile stuff anyway. Bridgestone eager sf340s are the pick but you'll be lucky to find them I think they're discontinued.
How do you adjust driving in the wet should an emergency braking situation arise? They last because the compound is so hard which also means they have very poor traction.
End of the day you get what you pay for, cheap tyres = crap tyres.
