Default Tires question: Kumho Vs Yokos VS Sumitomo Vs Pirelli

I am going to buy some tires, either 15" or 16" size.
Anyone can tell me which tires are best?

Yokohama AVS ES100

Kumho Ecsta Supra 712

Pirelli 700Z

Sumitomo HTRZ

Falken Azenis

Anyone have any of the tires above? Should I get the 15"s or the 16s" I am going to get the OZ Racing super leggera wheels also.
Thanks

Purpose is for street looks and I also need good traction when it rains.
I have not done any mods to the car yet, will start doing tire/wheel, then intake, etc.
I can go for around $50 per tire which is what tire rack has them for plus shipping.
I am deciding if I should get the 16s for the hatch.
Thanks

The Yoko AVS ES100s are excellent tires for the price. They should be good for your intended use.

I beg to differ....the pirelli p700z suck ballz! I've driven a full set of the 712's kumhos and 700z pirellis on the street, including 1 session each on a road course to get the feel for them. I'll take the kumho's anyday between the two.

Azenis are a whole different animal if you don't care about wet traction, because the kumho's are wonderful in the rain!

Kumho
Kumho's are the best I've had. Pirelli's are great when it's dry, but mine were *** when it rained. The Kumho's don't care either way.
