Kind of depends on what you want out of them. I personally like an all-round tyre because I'm mostly on the roads so I like to know that I know
I'm safe if it rains.... but others who are more trackday-minded will probably disagree, prefering more slick tyres...

there was a recent article saying that as of this winter new EU rules will ban trackday type road legal tyres like 888's as they do not have
sufficent wet grip. I think it was on postons heads - worth checking before spending £300+ on a set of tyres you cant use on the road!
I have yoko a539's and they seem pretty good compromise.

On the "Ban", the EU are not banning trackday style tyres - don't panic!
What they have done is tighten up a whole bunch of the standards tyres must pass to be allowed on the road, which sadly current trackday tyres
don't. Toyo et al are working on producing trackday tyres that meet the new regulations but of course it takes a little time to go through that
design process.
When the new regulations come into force it means Toyo and friends won't be able to sell their old trackday tyres (in Europe) as they
won't be allowed to put the road legal/CE marks on. This will be a problem if the tyre companies can't make sticky tyres that meet the
specs, but they claim to be confident that they can do it.
Tyres already on the road/stashed in garages will be fine to continue using until they wear out as they already have the correct marks as of the day
of their manufacture - which is what counts as no country retrospectively bans products consumers have been legally using for years.
