A friend of mine who runs a tuning shop was telling me NOT to get CSC3's... since he
thinks they're about the same as PS2s... soft so they run out fast on Taipei roads.
He suggested going with a harder tire......

Your friend is giving you some good advice, but in the end it's up to you to decide the characteristics you want in a tire. I know it rains often in Taiwan (and heavily) so wet weather performance will be an issue. Then there is probably road noise. Keep in mind, harder compound low profile tires have an adverse affect on ride quality. Regular tires are definitely harder than performance tires, but they have tall side walls that 'give' to provide a 'cushy' ride.
Here are some tire review links for you to check out:

yeah but with 19's, soft cushioned tall side walled wheels are out of the question! hehehe
He did call me back and said Toyo's.
I dunno, I thought they weren't so good.....

Yeah, when in doubt..... damn, I tried to put a twist on that saying but my mind went suddenly blank!!!
No worries! A lot of import tuners put Toyos on their cars. Stick to the tires the Euro makes and tuners use.
