The Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 was the benchmark and 2nd place went to the Hankook Ventus V12 evo.

thanks for sharing, hadn't heard of that one and it looks good; fulfills my criteria and I note it is competitively priced in Germany so I'll look further into it.

Thanks to all of you for sharing. I will check those Hankooks out. I am selling my current winter rims and snow tires to finance this (see classified listing in this forum for style 243s for sale) -- so let me know if anyone has any interest!

Again, many thanks!

Ratings from countries outside the United States may not be applicable to tires available for sale in the states - even when they have the same brand and style name. I suggest checking out the TireRack tests and (taken with a grain of salt) reviewer ratings. I suggest you select a tire that is a balance of performance, handling, tread life and price that works for you and your budget.

The link in my signature can help you get additional rebates there and at other on-line stores ... it might help offset S&H costs and frequently lists additional coupon savings.

Good luck with your hunt for tires - they are the connection between your car and the road
