Hey guys - I run a tire shop and have driven cars wearing most of these tires. I'd say that overall the Michellin Pilot Sport is the best tire. great grip, wet and dry - and really not a bad ride either. Bridgestone S-02 - similar in design to the Michellin - just not quite as good. As far as bang for the buck goes - The Yoko AVS Sport is a great tire for a reasonable price. Also Dunlop SP Sport 9000 is a good wet traction tire. You really can't go wrong with any of these tires. The Michellin's are defftinetly the best tire, but you're going to have to pay for 'em. Let me know if you have any more questions.
