have to agree, i've had RE040's on several cars and although their wet traction isn;t as good as others they have always been progressive, they only spit people out if they are hamfisted with them. they are also a great track tyre, and in the dry they are very good.
Bollocks, they're great in the dry (lots of feedback and good progression) and okayish in the wet. They get much better with some heat in them too.
Nankangs are at least named budget tyres, yet, I managed to not have any accidents on no named budget tyres with 3mm at the rear and falken ze912's at the front with 2mm.
