Question Debating on tire choices.... help!

I currently have Bridgestone SO3. I love them so far. I'm getting new wheels and need new set of tires. And I am wondering if I should stick with SO3's or try others like Yokohama AVS Sport, Toyo Proxes T1-S, Nitto 555 Extreme, etc.

Which tires do you have and why?

Thanks in advance!

Got the T1-S and so far they are awsome. Have about 400 miles on them and they handle great.

falken fk451's cuz they are cheap and pretty good performance wise, only complaint i have is that amount of road noise. (my solution for the road noise is either get an exhaust or turn the radio louder )

I find that the wet traction in the Toyo Proxes T1-S is excellent.. It's also one of the lightest tires you can buy (to reduce that unsprung weight)

I like my Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3s on my G35 so far. A lot better than my orig. stock Michelin Pilots.

I have tried the GS-D3. It's a great all around tire. However it will not be as agressive as the S03's....because its a smoother ride.

depending on your needs. They are all great tires.

If you have 18 inchers some of the makers, e.g. Goodyear, do not make the fronts in stock size.
