If you want MAX dry weather performance (maybe 5-10% better than the toyos), get the Michelins.
If you care about tire life at all, get the toyos.

if you don't track your car, and I mean autoX or road course (drag racing doesn't count), why do you need such a high performing and high priced tire for street use? I just don't get this.

the cornering and general handling characteristics of the Toyos have been great.
The number one reason I bought them was weight and they were only $156 mounted and warranted. But they are now around $187 and I won't be going back to them . . traction under hard acceleration isn't that good. I was able to break the tires loose this weekend from a 30mph punch and when I hit 2nd they spin . . . and I don't mean a chip, they spun.

I'm not convinced that the Toyos are a great drag tire. There great for cornering and such, just not hard straight line acceleration.
