Default Tires: BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2/Yokohama AVS ES100/Firestone Firehawk SZ50 EP

I prefer the Yokohamas over these two.. cause I'm not very aquanted with the other two.. but tire-rack.com rates both of the other above the yokos in all catagories.. then again they have less total votes..

2 main things..
-I can't belive the "Firehawks" grip that well.. and if they grip that well.. is it a really quick wearing compound?
-and I can't belive the Goodrichs wear well.. think they'd wear fast..

Basically I am looking for opinions on all three of the above.. I love the way the Goodrichs and AVS ES100s look.. that's a factor.. but mostly its wear/grip..

Most grip and most wear is important..

Opinions.. only placed I've looked at the goodrich and AVS ES100s are tirerack.com
where else shall I look?

By the way Azenis wore to quick for my preference.. and I'm going to be sad when these tires dont compare to grip of azenis o well.. that's what you pay for wear

WHICH TIRE IS BEST? WEAR MOST IMPORTANT

the BFG's wear very well. my buddy has the kdw's on his C5 Z06 and they now have 12k miles and showing very little wear. the Goodyear SuperCar tires were worn out by 10k miles. i personally think Michelin/BFG make a superior tire. they share compounds, but michelin is a little more advanced in design. the price reflects that too.
my family has only used their tires on all our vehicles(hell, even my mtn. bike has michelin tires). i rate dunlop and continental up there with them.

Yokohama AVS ES100 were my choice.. I couldn't find out enough about the others.. the BFGs seem too good to be true... price was too much though

Even though I was just informed of Toyo T1S ... I wonder how they are in comparison
