i've considered those but the treadwear rating was too low for me.

I bought the Sumitomo HTR Z 2 on a dare last summer and ended up loving the tire. It was better than my buddies g sports or neo gens.

Depends on where you live. Maybe in MA where you live you might get the all summers if its hot and dry there a lot but get the all seasons if it rains a lot of whatever. personally I like the g-sports though!

I sell tires and have had several people come back complaining of the lack of traction with snow on the ground. Very nice tire for dry and rain. I am running the Kumho Ecsta SPT, solid tire on the dry ground, great in the rain, not loud at all. Cant comment on the treadlife though. Go with the ASX if you need all season. My vote is SPT for summer style driving.

I have the g-force sports and they are a good practical tire. Not a whole lot of road noise and a fairly stiff sidewall. Rain performance is so-so as to be expected for a summer tire. But dry performance is awsome. I can corner really hard and they still grip good which helps with the understeer. Also they are fairly predictable if you do go into a corner a little too hard you will still be ok. Good tire
