The Falken Tires are pretty cool..I don't think they are any good for bad weather though.. I don't find many people who sell it on the East Coast, mostly on the West coast...I would consider them if I can find someone locally that has them..

if you want grippy tires get drag radials (Nitto), or more commenly known as street slicks, they have HUGH rubber patches. They are not actually slicks, they look like street tires but are REALLY sticky. I have a friend that had them on his integra, I think he had around 180Hp at the wheels and he could dump the clutch at 4000 and bairly get wheel, I was in the car one time when he did it and it was crazy

Drag radials only get 10K miles though on the street, and don't do jack for wet.

I'll have Kumhos on my car next Friday. I'll let you know how they feel. I was gonna go with Dunlop S9000s but they are too much money. Then I was gonna go with Nittos but my bro has them on his VW and I think they ride very bumpy. I know its probably just his car but I just feel like they're gonna be bumpy, I guess because I never felt them on any other car. I know tirerack.com gave Kumhos good ratings but that doesnt mean anything.
