a qoute from c.w Best are Michelin Pilot Sport Cups, then the Pirelli P-Zero Corsa, and a distant third the R888 from Toyo, which are really too soft and have appalling wet weather grip, not that any of them have GOOD wet weather grip :D

Michelin Pilot SPORT PS2 255/40 ZR17 94Y with rim protection ridge, RRBL

 

Also im on stock 17" im running 235/40 by 255/40 R17 all round at the moment, is this the correct stock widths? im sure somewhere ive read that i want 235/45 on the front.

 

front should be a 45 profile

If you want wet grip you don't want any of the track day specials, they all have too big a tread block, too hard a compound, and not enough sipes for wet road usage. OK for driving carefully to a circuit and hoping it's not persisting down when you get there, but hopeless in standing water on the M1.
