    I would not recommend the Hankook's. I have been running mine for a bit over a year and they don't give me the same "confidence" that my GY F1's did. They seem to be very "squirrely" when braking hard and thru the turns. I raised my pressures to around 38psi all the way around and it helped, but they still don't feel very planted.

    Yokohama Avid Envigor... Great for California, as we DO have 4 seasons!

    Dunlop Direzza Star Specs. They've put GY F1 to shame. Although I don't see them currently in our size.

    I like my s.drives so far. Much better than the runflats. I do find them to be a little on the noisy side, but I just keep the radio turned up.

    I am running Nitto Motivos. They have been on the dragon several times and on several other rally's in NC and they perform well,dry or wet!

    I like my AST's, good tracktion wet & dry, esp. For the price and the tread life, not as good as there XS's, but IMO, they're next best & will last prob. twice as long.
