Guys Im having a tough decision on finding tires..here is a better criterias on what I am looking for
-UNDER $110.00 per tire
-Better Ride quality than the Stock RE070's
-Tires has to adhere the SF City Driving (Potholes etc..)
Some Suggestions I came with are the:
-Falken ZE-912's
-Sumitomo HRZ III
-Kumho ASX's
Any1 with these tires please chime in!

I second this. I just got a set of 615s a couple weeks ago and I'm very happy with them for city driving, and they perform pretty well in the mountains too. A very predictable tire.

not trying to be a snob... just saying that the OP lives in the city of san francisco and i and my kidneys can empathize with him...
my asx's do well around here.. .much better than 615s or z1s... but i have a set of z1s mounted on another set that i use for autox and don't daily them anymore.

I've used the KDW2s and they work out pretty well.
Noise level is not the greatest but I felt safer on them then my Azenis 615s in the wet (either at the race track or daily driving).
