yeah I have a similar question also.

what do you guys think of Yokohama AVS intermediate and also the new Falken Azenis?

Yokohama

Falken.

these are the two tires I'm looking at right now, what others do you guys recommend and like Promax I like to know the plus size also....

The Yokohama AVS Intermediates are !@#$ing incredible. I've had them for about 4 months now. They stick like crazy, and when they finally break loose, its very gradual and controllable. I highly recommend them. The only thing bad to say about them is they wear out quickly. Mine are down to about half-life. But then again I've seen 4 auto-x's on them, and LOTS of hard backroads driving. I still recommend them. I got mine off tirerack for $74/piece, cheap as hell if you ask me for the quality of tire.

Actually, I'm looking at the RE730 and the SP8000, it seems like RE730 is a pretty good buy from tirerack, what do you guys think?

225/50 is the stock sizing. You can go up to 245/45 all around(or just the rears if you want) without any problems.
