Need new tires; what's best for all around use?

Yet another PS2 vote. I totally enjoy the way my Turbo responds and feels shod with PS2's. There's an indefinable subjective element to tire choices--"This is what I like, this is what feels fast, safe, and sticky." PS2's always feel outstanding for the way I like to drive and the conditions under which I usually do that driving. The wet is not a problem and control is always superb. For what it's worth I've tried several different brands of tire on my Turbo. I've always ended up happily back on PS2's.

I have always run the Yoko's but just could not resist trying the Sumi for daily driving (I almost bought the whole set of Sumi's for the price of 1 rear Yoko). I was getting 10,000 miles out of the rear tires if I was lucky. If the Sumi's suck I am not out that much. If I start to do more than 10 track days a year I will buy tires for the track.
But agree, the Yoko's are spectacular tires.

Peter: Good feedback. I'm basically a dry weather sailor...in the event I was driving in the rain, I would cut it back substantially regardless of the wet rating of the tires. I probably have another 6K miles left on the PS2's....and by the time I'm ready for another set, there will be much more information available. Thanks for the hands-on feedback...that's the sort of info I like to see...personal knowledge. Rep point for you.........sorry for the ignorance....but what's the CMP???
**I came back with an afterthought. What speeds did you notice the traction breaking loose? What sort of course were you running...i.e. how tight were the turns....did you have any hydroplaning?

2k miles on my daily driver (19" 315/25 setup). TOYO T1R have been outstanding wet or dry (no discernible wear yet) . I have run Continental, Pzeros & Michelin sport rib in the past. In my experience the T1R is a better tire although cheaper than all three. I think they look pretty cool too.
I would have tried them sooner but Tirerack doesn't sell them (used to be a regular customer).
