What about the new Yokohama Advan Neovas? Or last year's Falken Azenis? Or Kumhos?

Between those two I'd go with the BFG's.

The Yokos...I'm on a budget my man...I think they're close to $180 a corner (yikes) and they wear fast.

The Falkens...meh. They've never really done it for me, for whatever reason.

The Kuhmos...yeah, based on feedback, I've added them to my list. At this point, I'm considering the Ecsta MX (extreme performance $105 a corner), just not sure if I want an "extreme performance" for my daily driver. Is it safe to assume they're going to wear faster than an Ultra-high performance?

Oh, and I'm from upstate NY and have another set of wheels for snows, so I don't need to worry about using them all year.

Thanks guys, keep 'em coming...

I just ordered 225/45/17 Kumho Ecsta 711 tires for $63 a piece... They're not great tires, but they perform well, and they have pretty good tread life.

Wish I had 16s, these Falken Azenis need to go somewhere, hahaha.

i own the fuzions right now and they are pretty freaking awesome. i havent had any problems and the price was great. oh and ive owned the bf good's on other cars, the dry performance was great but ive never had a tire that performed worse in the rain, i hated driving in the rain and would of avoided it at all cost.
