C'mon people. I know someone has some advice. I've read plenty of posts talking about the Falkan 512's and the Toyo Proxies but I didn't see any comparisons based on the things I listed. If I missed something, a link to a thread would be good too.

It's possible that the abscence of a response may be due to not many members are running 20" wheels. I have Nitto 555's in 245/35/19, but am unaware if there is a 20" version.
Good luck.
Good luck.

I like the Pirelli PZero Nero, but Tirerack is showing a size of 245/30/20. There seem to be a few good selections listed like the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S, but since you mentioned these will be summer use mainly, might check out Tirerack to get some more ideas.

Looking at the selection at tirerack.com in terms of price I would probably go with:
1) Continental ContiSportContact 2
2) Pirelli PZero Nero M&S
3) Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Position
4) BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2
Continental's are great tires, PZero's are going to be good for the price. The Bridgestone S-03 is probably the best tire for performance right now, but because of the price it's a little further down the list. Good luck, let us know what you go with and your experience.

Those Pirellis are looking more and more attractive. I'm just wondering why the M&S version is cheaper than the summer version. The M&S version would have the bonus of giving me a little more time to run the wheels during the year.
