I had the Potenzas on the the M Coupe and I'm still a fan. Excellent dry grip and surprisingly good wet grip.

I have these on my Corvette. I had read great things about them, but was disappointed in them at first. I bought the car back in November and have been driving it in the colder weather. Now that it's warmer I can see why people speak so highly of them. They were horrible in the cold weather but I really like them as the temp's rise. In the rain the past few weeks they performed well, a lot better than anticipated.

Don't waste your money on Kumhos. I had a set and they lasted for 3 months.

I ran BFG G-Force year round, and never had a problem.

Which Kumhos? That means nothing without saying what model you're talking about.

Yeah, that's true. They certainly do lose their stickiness in the cold, but when it's warm or wet outside, I don't think I've driven on anything better.

Michelin Pilot Sports. I've gone through numerous brands over the years and like these the best overall.

BFG G force TA KDW2's are GREAT tires, but they're a little expensive. I went with Azenis' because I drive like a grandma in the wet and my car is mainly for fun.

My KDW2's on my SRT4 lasted 25k miles on the front, and still had 70+% tread on the rear when I sold it at 27k miles. I never rotated the tires either.
