There is no "best tire brand" bro.

Why don't you specify what you want from the tire, and then maybe w can begin to help you.

Yokohama es100's

I'm going to be picking some up once my blades get here

Azenis are not good in the rain, so scratch that off your list if they were on there...

OOOhhhh all year round!
so then they'll always been on your car?

well that certainly satisfies what we need to know to answer your question..

not..

but yeah.. get yohohama avs es100's, they're probably the best all around tire I can think of, good grip in wet and dry, pretty good lasting tread(compared to other really grippy tires) and they're quiet.

ummm u must be from another plant because I HATE MY NITTO 450s....they suck all the way around, horrible road noise, bad in rain, dont grip, ect

only thing good about them are they last long

ES100s are my pick, cheap and handle good (i just picked up a set and love them)

Falken makes good tires at a decent price. Right now I have the Flaken zeix 512 on my SI and they are pretty good. I was trying to get yokohama es 100 but no one had them in my area, but they are good too.
