I agree with subie4life, I'd look at the Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Specs. They have great grip, even in the rain. They offer a high level of performance for a really good price.

the current Car and Driver has a good test done on all major performance tires....except they did not have the Falken.

The Hankook Evo's look really good.

My Yokohama S.drives have severe cupping and wear after just 11 months, they are complete garbage tires. How they made it to #6 in that countdown is beyond my comprehension.
