I just order the Yokahama(can't spell) AVS sports the kick ace. The Dunlop SP 8000, or 9000 are a good bet too.

For a cheaper all around good tire for the street go for the kumho ecstas.

i have toyo proxes fz4's, they are alright but nothing special, they look real nice i guess, but i find they lose traction when i am taking a turn real fast i get a little oversteer. they work good in the rain though.

sounds like driver error to me!

the kumo 712 are probably the best for the money. the toyo t1-s are sweet if you can afford them.
