Comp T/A HR4's 245/50/16 - I only recommend these tires for mileage, they are ok in everything else and spin like a bitch (hard compound)
my next set is BFG KDWS on my 16's until I can get a set of 17's with KD's or what ever is better

hey i did a lot of studying and looking around for a fair priced tire since im a student and that would still handle well...
i got the firehawks ss20's theya re great int he rain/snow hehe and awsome price i got a good deal on it and paid like a little over 600 with balance alighnment etc, firehawk sz50's are great but are no good in the rain i think... the advid h4s are good for the price but as said they dont last long...
bfg's comp ta vr4's are softer side walls i think dont last at long as the h4's the kdw's are great except int he rain and snow
if u want the ULTIMATE tire: go with the bridgestone so3 pole position i think its called.. they are the top of the line...
so it depends.. if u like smoking ur tires every once in a while go with the bfg comp ta's or the advid h4
well hope this kinda helps if u got any more questions about which ones to go let me know hehe

I'm running 245/50R16 BFG KDWS on the stock IROC rims. They hold the pavement great wet or dry. I definitely recommend these tires.
I ran 245/45R16 BFR VR4's on my old IROC vert and they were a nice soft compound tire; very sticky.

The Kumho 712's are suppossed to be very nice. A friend has some Fulda's which are excellant.
I run BFG VR4's which are OK...but not great. Soft sidewall makes for nice street ride. ( I have race tires when I autocross or Hillclimb ). OK traction in dry...but not so great in rain.
My next tires will probably be Kumho's or Fulda's. ( Price a consideration )

I have Bridgestone Comp TAs 245/50 R16s in the front, and... Kumo (whatever mikey got for me) 255/50 R16s in the rear... all do to a slow leak, drive it home, take it to a tire shop to get fixed, split the sidewall while driving it semi-flat problem :(
