Hey whats going on guys. This upcoming week ill be buying some new tires to replace the crappy ones I had purchased last year, which were the Wanli P225/40zr18 crap tires. I have 3 choices and I wanted to get your opinion on which one you prefer or think is better and explain why. The one I like and my 1st choice is Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric. My 2nd choice is BFGoodrich g-force T/A KDW2 which has a unique tread design. And my final choice is the Yokohama S. Drive tires which is cheaper then the other two but sacrifices some dry/wet traction and isn't quite the best tire on the market. So those are my 3 choices. Any input/information/opinions you might have are welcome. Thanks guys.
I have heard the BFG's are great but i have no personal experience with them. I have BFG super sport A/S's and they are pretty good. So the quality seems to be there in BFG products.
anyone try out the Continental Extreme Contact DWS ($106 a piece) on a scion tc yet? my friend got them on his VW GLI and they are awesome but im not sure how it would be on a tc...the contiextremcontacts from last year did bad on the tcs cause they had a thin wall and the ride was mushy...
the general tire altimax HPs have great reviews on tirerack for 89 bucks a piece and do well in dry wet and snow, but im not too sure about the tread design...the tread design to the extreme contact dws is unique
any thoughts?
general tire altimax hp or continental extreme contact dws???

Thanks guys so far for the help. Im still in debate. Yes the tires would be only for street use, but I love to drive my car hard every day and I like to hit corners sometimes as fast as I can and I wanted something that stuck. The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymetric Tires got insane ratings all around but the local Town Fair doesn't sell them so that means I would have to order them which makes it more difficult then what I would have wanted. The BF Goodrich has a cool tread design but because of its design it makes me a little skeptical. And the yoko's I just kind of liked because thats what I had on my 3000gt when I had that car and they were pretty good. And if theres a tire thats better then these or u like thats not on here please let me know. I want something I can push to the limits. Thanks...

Im about to purchase the new Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110. They have a 280 Treadwear, they weigh 23 pounds, got very good ratings... Theres even a cool video on them. Im seriously thinking about it. Plus there only 114 a pop from www.tirerack.com... Let me know what you guys think of that...
