my yokohama avid v4s is a good "all season" tire. it has superb wet traction and decent dry tractin compared to michelin xgt's that were on it. it is quiet, smooth, and it is a 60k tire. im quiet happy with the performance of this tire for it not being a "sticky" summer tire.

I use toyo proxes 245/45 rear and 235/45 front and love those tires. Last set was nitto extremes and they proved good too. But the toyos are a good bamg for the buck.

Talking

Khumo Ecsta 711's - $89/ tire and they handle as good as any tire I've used aside from the pricey Goodyear Eagle F1's. ($140/tire)

I have 17/225/45 front and back.

I'm running some real sticky BFG G-Force Sport's on my 16x7 wheels. Tire size is 225/50/16. Front and rear, dropped an inch.

Ride is good. $64/tire.
