My Yoko 048's are brilliant, although do wear quickly, put Yoko's on the SWMBO's car, they are very good as well.
IMHO Yoko's rock, thing to remember is these cars are very light so do not purchase something made for a heavy car.

There are some good deals on sets of four Paradas on t'bay at the moment - EARS and kitpartsdirect for around £30 each (free fitting if
collected from EARS)
I am looking at a set for my new road alloys and keep my Toyos and light wheels for trackdays.

If you're considering doing any trackdays, go for the R888's.
Yoko A048's are also a good tyre and give similar level of grip to the R888's. Some would say better. Last time I looked though, they were
dearer than the R888's

Great in the dry, shocking in the wet.
Not as good as 888s though but at that price I could live without that last little bit unless you were heading for the track...
