Default need some advice on tires...

well ive narrowed a few of my choices down to these:

*Dunlop SP Sport FM901 (200 treadwear) 195 55 15 V-rating
*Kumho Ecsta 712 (350 treadwear) 195 55 15 V-rating
*Falken Azenis (200 treadwear) 205 50 15 V-rating

the thing is...

i got some crappy *** stock Michelin tires on my stock rims. I cant grab asphalt for **** til my tires stop spinning like crazy in 2nd gear. ive never experienced this til now. im usually running on good tires. now im lookin for better tires because these Michelins are almost costin me defeat!

i commute alot... but i also race alot. so i need a tire that wil perform good for boost and not wear out like a muthafocka. any suggestions? also, is there a difference in traction and looks with the 205 50 15 tires compared to the 195 55 15s?

ive heard that kumhos are cool... but they dont grab as good as falkens. ive had good experience with dunlops.. but not this particular model. any suggestions is coo...

I my S03s (195/50/15)
Im buying the BFG drag slicks next and putting them on the front and keeping the back S03. Im expecting alot of grip from the BFGs.

The S03s are the best tire ive had. They dont wear as fast as you might think probably 15k-25k depending on driving style and alignment. I have -1.7 in front and less than -1 in the back. I have little to no 'inner wear'. You just have to rotate them often like 3k miles

edit: Sorry I probably just made you more confused...I just wrote what Im doing doing...good luck on your choice.

Will do fine for everyday driving, and if you hit the track or Q/mile you will have fun.
