Default Tyre advice

About to put on a set of 15" on my EG 4dr and was wanting to know what ppl thought about different types of tyres. Looking for 205/50s. Was thinking Bridgestone Potenza G3s, Falken Azenis Sport, Yokohama A539s..

any suggestions? experiences?

Everything else being equal would the kms you get from the S-03s be the same as the Falken Azenis Sports?

OK off topic a little but "tyre" is the British variate of how you guys spell "tire"! Learn something new everyday... ok back in my box now...

If we were to just look at Yokohama... how do the following 3 compare to each other in terms of performance and life span?
AVS ES100
AVS Sport
Parada Spec-2

The ES100s are the cheapest of the 3 i am assuming?
