I have been running the Bridgestone Potenzas RE-71. I have been through two sets so far. They have been great on the car. The only downside is they lasted about 15000 miles. That is with spirited driving and autoxs.

I want to get the new version of those tires. I believe it is the Potenza RE930 GEN II

Oh, I have some Falken bubblegum tires on the way from Rishie. Dunno how they will do but I can tell you about the KDW's

KDW is dry and wet tires and they are smooth riding, give great feedback and stick like glue. They are alittle pricy though to be thrashing on so hence the reason I bought the Falken's.

I have Yokohama's coming on my new wheels from Tirerack for fair weather.

At the moment, I have Dunlop Wintersports for snow and crapola winter weather. They work great.

You and me both, although I thought mine were called A520V. It's nice being able to rotate all 4 rims [directionally] any way/where you want.

I'll bet you running 35PSI in them.

Before you give up on them, try lowering the pressure to about 28PSI.
You will be amazed!

I'm running 28 in front & 26 in back in cheap but good Kuhmo 225/50-15's

Falken Azenis Sport. 225 45 17. I think they're easily the best value for the money out there.
