What, in your opinion is the best performing road race type street tire, especially in the wet?

There are several:
BFGoodrich gForce KD
Bridgestone Potenza RE730
Goodyear Eagle F1 GS
Goodyear Eagle GS-C

The competition tires:
Yokohama A032R
Kumho VictoRacer V700

The street tires are just that Hipo street tires. THe A032R's are deeptread, longlasting (hard) track tires. THe Kumhos are what I run, and are shallkow tread, not very good in any wet, but are a great track compound.

You gotta be more specific, or decide from choices above.

These are also some good ultra-high-performance street tires:
Pirelli PZero Asimmetrico
Michelin Pilot Sport
Bridgestone Potenza S-02

They are very expensive though - can be $300 each depending on the size.
