I'm still debating on either the Azenis, The Victo Racers (mmmm, R compound) or the Bridgeston s03 Potenzas....My dad put the bridgestone's on my mom's buick and they are like fuckin WHOA!
Tough decisions, but the Azenis are very popular at the Auto-X (cheap), followed by the R ccompounds because they are insanely sticky.
Ok, the Potenza's are the most expensive of the lot, and on an autox course, you'll tear the hell out of them. Don't get me wrong, they're a great tire, but they are still a street compound and are going to chunk at autox. You won't get good life out of them if you drive them hard (granted your car is lighter than mine so that will help alot).
The Kumho's are gonna give you the best performance, with middle price range and fair life.
The Falken's are the cheapies. They'll give moderate performance. They'll last alright.
Also, take a look at Kumho's new street tire. Similar to the falken's...
