I researched the forum and the web for a few weeks now, and I just ordered some Vredestein Sessantas. Seem to get great reviews and the price is hard to beat. Check out the Wheel and Tire section for some info.

Answer depends on how you drive. I'm ordering my second set of Toyo T 1Rs; got 26,000 quiet, good ride, good wet/dry stick on first set.

But, per many posts here, the Toyo sidewalls are considered to soft for guys who corner really hard. Michelin PS2s seem to be da bomb by all who have them. I don't corner at the limits so not worth the extra cost for PS2s to me.

Well, I hate rubber and if I had to choose......oh, tires?

My Dunlops for the winter, and BFG GForce 2s. But my Pilot Sports do a good job too.

Top 3 in no particular orders:

1. Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 - Ran 255/35/19 & 275/35/19 (Pros: sticky in all conditions, crazy wet traction / Cons: Prices is way too high)
2. Toyo Proxes T1R - Ran 255/35/19 & 285/35/19 (Pros: Good prices, sticky in all conditions, excellent wet traction / Cons: Wears out quickly even in normal non-agressive driving conditions, not offered in certain sizes that are "agressive" or a bit off from the norm)
3. Perelli PZero Nero - Running 255/35/18 all around (Pros: Excellent traction in wet conditions, heats up well in dry condition, insane grip, longer laster than other 2 / Cons: Prices could be bit better but considering their thread wear and handling it's not too bad)
