need help choosing a tire...
so im kinda stuck on what tires to get, i was looking for a all season ultra high performance tire. The thing is im kinda stuck with getting them from sears, i just received a $300 giftcard, so i might as well. I was looking at nittos, there is two specific models the invo and the neo gen. Any ideas?? the invo is a really nice tire from everything i found, kinda leaning towards that, but im open to any opinions.. thanks

Here's where the challengers come in price wise:
BF Goodrich G-Force T/A KDW2 ($126)
Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport ($132)
Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec ($137)
Falken Azenis RT-615 ($121)
Hankook Ventus V12 EVO ($106)
Kumho Ecsta XS ($120)
Ling Long L688 ($57)
Nitto Invo ($117)
Yokohama S-Drive ($115)
The test covered several different areas of performance. AutoX , skid pad , braking , price and ride quality. I am not going to reproduce the entire article but, here are some of the numbers
after the testing the Car and Driver test drivers and staffers still consider the Pilot Sport PS2 the top summer performance tire.
Final Results for the challengers
#1 Dunlop Star Spec
#2 Hankook V12 EVO
#3 Kumho Ecsta XS
#4 Bridgestone RE760
#5 BF Goodrich KDW2
#6 Yokohama S-Drive
#7 Falken Azenis
#8 Nitto Invo
#9 Ling Long L688
