Tyre choice for the GTA?

I'm currently running Pirrelli PZero's on her at the moment and they are getting very near the end of their life.

Here's my dilema......Which tyre do I opt for when I come to replace them?

IMO the PZero are rubbish in very wet weather, they tend to aqua plane A LOT! To the point where I just don't trust them in wet conditions at all. Can't fault them in dry weather BTW.

I'm looking for high performance tyre, but one that can cope (and give confident handling) in the wet.

I like the look of the Goodyear Eagle F1, and the tread pattern LOOKS as though it would clear water very well. Their price seem reasonable to, I've seen some suppliers offering 4 fitted for about £360.

Are there any other options though? around the same price! I don't mind spending money but i don't see any point in spending more than I have to.

Or does anyone have an opinion on the GY F1?

Why do people drive anything else?

If you cut me in half an Alfa would roar out and run you over! You've been warned
