I'm sure I'm opening the flood gates on this one but here goes...

I run 205/60/15s on 4 bolt Fuchs, I've always thought the 60 series looked a little more 'correct' for street use than the 50's so I've tried to stick with those...Well looks like that market is drying up a bit and it's been a long time since my last set of tires so I need to know what's good.

I'm in sunny Southern California so I generally go for a high performance tire and am not so concerned with wet weather performance...I also have a second set of Fuchs for auto-x tires so I'm not looking to put DOT race tires on for street use--they generally suck for street driving too--So far it seems like these are probably my choices:

Goodyear Eagle GT
Falken Ziex ZE-512
Kumho Ecsta ASX
Bridgestone Potenza G019 Grid
Bridgestone Potenza RE960 AS Pole Position
BFGoodrich g-Force Sport

I'm sure there's others I haven't listed too, so let the opinions fly... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)
