Last July I went from the Conti CSC 2's to the 5P's. Bad mistake. The "P" in 5P stands for "Performance"; amazing tyres with lots of grip and control but damn they lasted me 8,000 miles or so. I have recently had to replace all 4 corners and chose to go back to the Conti CSC 2's!

I just bought the Hankook's, so far they are great. after some research on hundreds of reviews for these i was sold. for the money they have great traction and handle, in some heavy rain recently they stuck nicely. can't go wrong with the price, if price is no object i would go with conti dw's for sure.

I just ordered a set of the new Michelin Pilot Super Sports and they arrive tomorrow and should be mounted on my wheels, later in the week. They are considered the "new" PS2's and are considered the best tire on the market now. They also happen to be cheaper than the PS2. I've read pretty amazing things about them from owners who came from PS2's. If you can afford a few extra bucks, I would do these.

I'll report back with my review this weekend.
