I'd take a serious look at the Hankook S1 Evo (K107).
Its a budget oriented tyre which seems to be what your looking for, but it actually works. It got all sorts of reviews and awards over the last few years and put a lot of more expensive rubber to shame.
Take a look on tyrereviews at the magazine group tests to see whats hot and whats not, for instance:
2012 EVO Max Performance Tyre Test | the online tyre guide
Theres more on the sidebar under "Summer Tyre Tests"
Even the worst tyre typically grips alright in the dry for most day to day driving, so its wet weather that really shows a tyres strengths. I run Eagle F1 Asy2's on my cars, and they quite simply stick like glue. I dont have to slow down when it rains, i can still happily throw the car round corners at the same speed i would in the dry, they're that good.
The T1R i've used before and found them poor in the wet. The Paradas are absolutely lethal in the wet. Never driven on FK452's but they're getting a bit long in the tooth these days, and tyres like the Hankook S1 Evo will easily outperform it, for similar money. Tyre tech is moving forwards all the time, you should be moving with it, not staying with the same old tyre year after year.
What i find really amusing is out of all the components on the car to make it drive better on the road, tyres are THE most important, yet so many people seem to have their hot hatches tuned up to stupid levels of power and yet run them on whatever cheapcrap tyres they can find.
Whats the point spending all that money on suspension, braking and engine upgrades, when you have some plastic ditch finders on the car? I'd much rather have my car running on standard soggy springs and have top notch tyres on there, than top notch suspension and **** tyres!
