There's a really interesting all-season Yokohama tire available (called the Advan S4) in 235/50R17 that is "AA" rated for traction, has a 400 treadwear ratiing, and is one of the least expensive tires in its category and size at $186. Its also rated #1 in the ultra high performance all season category. I'd go with this in a second.
i've got Falken Ziex 912's. awesome.
I used to run Dunlop SP Sport Maxx on my S4 and they were awesome. Great balance of wet & dry handling, fairly quiet, and very sticky. Loved em.
I'll 2nd this. A lot of people say the sidewalls are too soft for a performance tire, but I think they are plenty responsive and they have nearly endless grip. Wet performance is nothing short of phenomenal too. Another selling point: They are amazingly quiet on the highway. Much quieter than the Dunlop SP Sport 8000's I had on prior.
100% Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3s Only summer tires I buy anymore. I've had them on a D2 A8 and loved them, now they're on my GTI in 235 35 19 still lovin them. They are expensive and wear relatively quickly, but they have superior performance in wet and dry weather.
For the money, you cannot and will not find a better tire than the Falken Azenis RT-615 Had these on my DC2 Integra and used them for summer driving, autocross, HPDE, and they grip better for the money than any tire out there until you hit R compounds.
A good option for budget minded summer tires is the Kumho SPT. Long life treadwear rating and decent performance at a great price.
I have the Michelin Pilot Sports PS2 and I am very happy with them. Superior tire!
They handled well, were great in the rain. Wore out quickly and damaged easily.
no way man i had the khumo 712 xtas and they SUCKED!! they didnt get traction at all, they just wheel hopped everytime off the rip. then i get new wheels and tires, with Nitto's on them... and i havent had any wheel hop. they get great traction, instead of hop i now get the little squall.. but the car is moving not sittin still beatin the crap out of my car.
