Mmm, the table didn't stick very well did it :-))))

Let me try another way :-)

ACB10 
Dry grip: As close to slick as is road legal!
Wet grip: Average*
Durability: Sub 4k miles seems normal

Yoko 32's
Stonking but not *quite* an ACB10
Average+, No good for standing water
4k - 6k seems possible (I did!!)

Yoko 48's
Stonking but not *quite* an ACB10
Apparently, better than the 32
4k - 6k seems possible (Same compound as 32, different tread)

CR500's
Need work to get warm but then v. good 
Good
Ask me next year, I'm at 6.5k (hard miles) on mine and *just* OK

Yoko 539's
A sport tyre, so grippy but not stunning
Very Good
Don't know, I'd expect 8k or 2 years (Hardening)

Thats my vote anyway :-))

N.B. * Average in this context is for a "Sport tyre". It is below average 
if compared with tin top type wet weather tyres. 

If you then weigh up your annual mileage, driving type (Commuter / track 
day nutter) versus price and expectations you should find a tyre in the 
list above.
