High Performance All Season Tires Recommendations

My Michelin Energy MX4's are on there way out and i need to replace them. they were great tires and im even considering replacing them with another set of Michelin Energy's. But im also considering other brands like Kuhmo,Toyo, or Yokohama. if any of you guys got some recommendations i would appreciate it. im probaly gonna go with 205/50/R16 instead of the (55). i was told 45 is pushing it, and thats another thing i need your opinions on. im probaly gonna with some Rota Circuit 8 wheels and i already ordered my Eilbach Sportlines with Tokico Blues so i need some good tires and wheels. thanks in advance.

An exact copy of what you have on there would be best, but the falkens are cheap, like 55 each online.

I just got these myself, but from Sears. A lot cheaper than then the Michelins, Toyo's and Dunlops that I was looking at.

Z-Rated, #1 on Consumer Reports for Dry, Wet and Snow Traction.

They are so much smoother and quieter than the Michelin's.

I just got myself some falkens, and love them so far, very quiet. If you got lots of $$ Goodyear RS-A's are good all weather. But Toyo proxes or falkens are good too. Lookin at yoko's for my 18's

Right now i got Falkens... Not sure which ones but thats what i got... Real nice tire except my only complaint is that it seems to be a soft compound. They wear really fast.

I agree- Pirelli are WAY overpriced, and WAY underperform for the ridiculous prices I have many friends who are very pissed about their Pirelli purchases.
