Guys,what you feedback on tyres.. typically in the 300-500 range (ie. range "real" people buy?Here's mine. Falken ST115300 for a 16" Soft and sticky, good grip and feel, quite BUT beware wore itself out in about a 1-1.5 years on my alfa v6!! only 16,000 kms on less !!Falken ZE512.300 for a 16". rearsonably grippy, good feel. Wore out in about 1.5- 2 year or about 25000K.sBridgeston Potenz 950.Had predecessor. RE711, mediocre grip but wore like Sami Velu's polyester suits!! 50,000 + kms on a Porsche but still has 35% of tread life left. a bit noisy but good road feel. My friend had his on Alfa 3.0 v6 and reported excellent wear, 40,000kms and sitlell 35% tread life left.Yokohama C-Drive450 for 17" just put them on my 525!. grip is OK, but not as good at ze512. quiet but not as quite at 512, good feel and when it slides it very progressive. holds road quite well (sidewalls seem reasonably stiff - a good thing for me). too soon to tell wear rate.ST-03. Stanford's Firenza.friend 300ce MBenz had them on. They feel very similar to the ZE512. progresive breakaway, moderate grip. cheap at 300 for a 17". bad stories about them exploding!@#%#

Have used these before.
Not too bad, decent grip in both dry and wet. Cuts through water really well. However, I think it does wear off pretty fast and gets a little noisy after 15K kms.

Another cheap and good tyre which I've used previously is Kumho 712s. Decent wet and dry grip and value for money for short term use so you can change them often. They're probably half the price of Pilot Sport 2s.
