Falkens or Yokohomas?

Alrite guys...I need to change my tires for the Cl type s wheels soon so help me make a decision. I narrowed it down to these tires:

215/50/17 Yokohoma Avid V4S....do they come in 225/50 because I like it wider since CL's or 7" while TL's are 6.5.

225/50/17 Falken Ziex ZE-512

I was also thinking about 235's but I dont want any problems. Let me know what you guys think.

Your'e located in SF? There's no need for all season. We are wet maybe 3-4 months out of the year? And of those few months its really only a few days of rain. Go Ultra High performance summer tire! Get some R compound!

But if you are set on those tires, I would go for the falken 512s.

Probably the same price range as the above tires. I like to drive agressive once in a while. I chose those two tires because thats what most people on here have and the Yoko's seem to have really good reviews on tirerack.

I'm too lazy to find out the prices of the tires in that size but here are some tires I would recommend:

Toyo RA-1
Kumho v700
AVS A032R

Falken Azenis Sport
Bridgestone S03
BF Goodrich G-Sport T/A KD
Kumho Ecsta MX

Realistically, the latter four would probably be a better choice. Anyway, good luck!
