Deciding On Tires

Ok so I have it narrowed down to 4 tires: pirelli pzero nero m&s, falken ziex 512, hankook ventus v4 es h105, and michelin pilot sport a/s. I want to know what set is the best of these 4 tires. I already have some idea as to how well the pirelli's hold because we have had 2 sets of them on the sti so far. any input would be great as long as you are not suggesting any tires other than all seasons.

I'd also consider The Avon Tech M550 A/S. I've had a set for a few months now. The dry traction along with sidewall stiffness are very good. They're not bad in the rain, and decent in the snow, although I can't comment how they would fair in more than just a few inches. At $108 a piece, they're a very good value.

the michelins and pirelli are decent.... but what are u looking for exactly...

if u want cheap grip falken rt 615, kumho mx decent price
wet traction goodyear f1, conti 2 decent price
all around advan nevreo, michelin ps2 expensive

none of the tires you picked aren't good at anything and arent considered an average tire.

i wanted something decent in the wet, decent tire wear and will hook up best with a launch. i wasn't to concerned about handling, how much is it gonna go down. so i went with the mx's a softer sidewall than the 615 so theyll squat a little more on the launch. and theyre priced right right... 533 shipped from tire rack 255/45/17

cheers!

I was cutting consistent low 1.6 60ft. times on Falken FK451's.....I would go with the Ziex 512's. I have not heard anything bad about them. Falken tires are great
