Neither of these have the grip of the set of Dunlop Starspecs sitting in the garage, but then it would be dumb to exceed the limits of any of these tires on the street anyway.
I loved the Yokohama S.Drives on my 18s. They were priced well, and they hooked up rather nicely too. They were great in the wet. I guess you could consider them noisy, but it didnt bother me at all.
Ive also had good luck with BF-Gs, so Im going to look into them again for my next set.

I think the Toyo Proxes 4 are a really excellent tire. I have had Toyos before and have had good experience with them. I am probably getting a set this spring for my daughters 2003 Maxima SE.

Always stayed away from falken since first experience with them.
They were a decent ridin tire but,They wore out 15,000 miles before the rating.
Shop offered a discount on the set next to make up for it.
I've been buying tires from the internet since.

Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110. You won't be disappointed. It is the 2nd rated best tire in the market under the Dunlop Direzza's.

I just installed the Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 's 235-40-18. Need to rack some miles up on them. I'll report back after a few thousand miles.
Initial reaction...good grip, quiet & good road feel.

I picked up a set of the hankook ventus r-s2 myself since they were on clearance to make room for the new version the ventus v12. I got mine for 80 something a tire new from tirerack. Still a great tire for that price.
I picked up a set of the Ventus V12s. I have yet to mount them though. Ive read alot of good things about them. For $130 a piece, I couldnt pass them up, especially since the BFGs I was looking at were $180 a piece.
i ordered them from here
https://www.onlinetires.com/products...sport+95w.html
135$ piece better price than tirerack.

They've had the cheapest prices every time I've bought from them anyway, and the free shipping rules. Having a warehouse a few hours away helps to, I always get my tires next day 
ok so im not gonna make deal with onlinetiresDOTcom anymore
i tried to contact them called like 20x bc they didnt send it out yet... 5 days since i placed order. im pissed off bc i need tires asap.
