I have only tried a few of the tires listed :
pirelli's
khumo's
falken's
continental's
bridgestone's
yoko's
and toyo's

In my opinion the toyo's take the prize because they stick like glue in heavy rains(almost better than dry) and thats where I want my tires to really show me their worth. the khumo was a close 2nd, pirelli gets 3rd and yoko gets 4th. the rest just plain didnt stick well enough for my liking in dry wet or otherwise for me.

I am about to purchase tires and I wanna make sure I get the right tire. I am a spirited driver FOR SURE but nothing like autox. I live in new england so I deal with snow and rain but can't afford a 2nd set of tires.

Lots of posts say the yokohama AVID V4S is a great tire. I found all 4 for $575. Is that a good deal and is that the best tire I can get for myself for that price.

p.s. I went to Town Fair Tire and they say they match any price and all this stuff, but I hear so much bad things about them I just stayed away (after I went there, paid them, and respectfully asked for my money back 15 mins later). Are they really that bad there?

Just had 4 new Bridgestone Turanzas w/ Serenity installed and I am pretty pleased so far after bout 400 miles on them, They are really quiet and the ride is damn smooth. I have a 03 TE and will post some pics soon.

I didn't vote since I haven't run any of those tires listed but I just picked up some Michelin Pilot A/S once I try them out in the rain and snow. I will take them in a few inches of snow and check how they do on freezing roads too. All provided by the Denver Co weather.
I will vote and post my findings later.

Falken 912's were a decent tire with good dry traction, I did hydroplain a few time in the rain and they are horible in the least bit of snow. I did get some squealing around a turn but i was going about 85 mph on stock rims.

I wouldn't buy these again.
