Best tire choice for my Stock Evo 9

I am an Evo DD driver, my E9 GSR is stock with no modiification.
My car's previous own put four Dunlop SP sport Max, I've done 20k km on them and it's about time to start looking for their replacement.

I don't do track days and occasionally pushes my car's abilities.
I am looking for a good all weather performance, durable and if possible, quiet as well.

In my last MK5 Golf GTI I tried Nitto Invo, good tyres but didn't last long...

This thread was about 10 threads down... Did you even bother looking or just assume a "What tire" question has never been asked? (PS, Im only angry cause I havent had morning coffee yet)

^ Just want to clarify that the Hankook V12s are not all seasons, but are summer tires. I've driven them in the snow, but it is definitely not made for inclement winter weather. Great for the dry and rain though, love them for a dd tire.

Nitto Motivos I hear nothing but good news about them. Or you could shed out extra $$$$ for Michelin Super Sports

Yokohama YK580.

I got 30,000 miles out of my previous YK520's. Just installed the 580's last week.

Great tire for the money.

I've been sporting the Hankook Ventus v12's. Lousy performance until you have them broken in (was expected) but great in the rain and even better on dry pavement.

I'm not sure what they cost now, but a few months ago, the price could not be beat by other comparable tires.

Love the sidewall and tread design. I will probably buy these again.

My buddy experienced the same thing. Need some heat cycles before theyll do anything.

Im really liking my Continental DW's. The forward bite and lateral traction in the wet are more than Ive experience on any other tire, period. They actually have more grip in the wet than the previous worn tires did in the dry (dont remember which tires I pulled off, lets call them ****-x).

For an all around tire, the Conti DW's are good but the side walls are pretty soft. With my 700/900 spring rates, they end up being the cushion for street driving which works out fairly well

i like yokahama ADVAN S.4. a bit pricey, but pays back in tire life, noise and grip.

Not impressed with SS for the cost.
