According to Consumer Reports:
1. Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3
2. Toyo Proxes T1-S
3. Continental ContiSportContact 2

These are all summmer tires. The Toyo and the Continental tie for handling. The Continental edges the other two in nose and comfort.

That was actually my number one choice the goodyears, they have the best rating on tirerack.com, what does every else think? the toyos looked pretty ugly on the websight.
