Traction in the wet is good once you are rolling. Off the line and harsh low speed acceleration isn't brilliant, and you do get wheel hop and wheel spin. But that would happen with any brand of tyre I think. Once you are in 3rd you can be as aggressive with the throttle as you like and they will grip, even in the wet.
I dont think better tyres exist that would solve these issues. Premium models from Goodyear / Continental / Michelin are all equally good in my opinion.
Have you added the dogbone bush?

No, the cars suspension is completely standard. I'm not that interested in getting it done either. Apparently it compromises comfort a little bit. Plus I don't really tend to boot it off the line anyway, I mostly use in gear acceleration. I don't tend to rag my car about too much. It's just nice to have the extra power in day to day use.

I would agree these premium tyres are all good in the wet but from a longevity perspective I found the Michelin to be better than the continentals for me. These front wheel cars are not designed for fastest 0-60 acceleration but there are hardware changes that can improve the traction

I have the yellow Powerflex on my Cupra and I can highly recommend it. I'm allergic to extra vibration, so thats why I opted for the least strong one for petrol platform. when I saw the video of HumbleMechanic, I was convinced. The amount of movement was way bigger than I thought. I wont be doing the actual dogbone itself, the insert is enough for me.

The intro already shows it
