The Goodyear do a better job better wear rate.

I'm running Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3's on the front and Toyo Proxy T1-S's on the back.
I think it's a pretty good combo.
When I had Toyos on the front, they lasted 3 months tops.
On the back they last much longer (and they're uber sticky, so no silly squirming in the damp).
The Eagle F1's seem to be pretty good in the wet and I think they might last a little longer than the Toyos.

I'm running on those new Dunlop SP 2040 (The quiet noise one's)
Really good too, but heavy on the pocket.

Same here, they're standard on GTi's aren't they?

Harry...
Are you showing off that you've got 3 sets of wheels??
On that note, where's the pics of your car on the Design 90's???

I run Dunlop SP2000s on my winter wheels and Toyo Proxes on my summer wheels.
The Dunlops are average, but I find the Toyos very good in the summer.

I've got Michelin Pilots on mine, they came with the motor when I got them so I didn't have much of a choice. I've been told they are pretty expensive and hard in compound but I will most likely go for something of a softer when these need replacing.

I run on Yokohama, Neova, AD07...
Not sure if you guys have this in UK, but this is so far one of the best I ever tried.

Yup, i heard that the AD07 do kick ass. But the price is too high for me, how much is it in HK with 15inch?

Gimana,
I got the 15" AD07 for HKD$ 650 a piece, so HKD$2600 for a set of 4.
I just put those on my original BBSs. But i switch to 195/50, because they don't make 195/45
