hahaha.....you put federal in your list of 'best' ..... too funny

throw in some yokohama avs/es-100 or something at least.

i prefer bridge/fire stone, or yoko's myself. and to be honest on my camaro i had a set of fuzion ZRi tires for less than 1/3 the price of firestones. but the kicker is they're made by bride/fire stone. same tread compound, same technologies, just cheaper.

i'd get some fuzion HRi's or some yoko's

but to answer your question about the tires listed....dont even think about federal, i HATE dunlops, then out goes khumo's cuz once u warm them up they're crap, so i guess toyo's

The "best" tire depends a lot on what you want to get from the tire. Long life? Dry grip? Wet grip?

Some of my favorites tires:
Bridgestone Pole Position S03 (I don't think they make them anymore).
Last generation falken azenis (I'll have the new RT-615s on the yaris tonight, I think they'll be just as good).
Yokohama Advans that came on my Evo
