im running cooper cobra GT on my cookies. they seem to be a good tire for grip and endurance, the road noise is pretty quiet with them as well.

Yeah, I currently have the cooper cobras and have not had any problems with them, especially at speed.
I like the way the Yoko's look, but have seen a few comments that they don'y hold together in rain all that well ( 2 days a year in Cali ) I can get the Coopers local pretty cheap, or go with the yoko's through TireRack and then have someplace mount them. Since I have had good experience with the cooper Cobra's, I'll probably stick to those. Then again, I'm still up in the air. I know that there is a local TireRack store, but don't know if they honor the web prices.

Ive had lots of luck with the Khumo 711 and 712 series tires. The Falken 512 was rated consumer digest tire of the year, and my friend had them on his integra..very low road noise and stick very well.
I only stick with the best of the best, so Im stickin to my very expensive Toyo T1S tires

I convinced my GF to put the Zeon 2XS on her 626. They stick unbelievably. We bought a set of dedicated snows, and no longer needed all season tires. When we went from all seasons to the 2XS tires, it was like a different car. Low noise, very very sticky. I might put them on the 951 if I ever get some $. Also was thinking about Avon tires, now that Tire Rack is carrying them.

well, it appears that those don't come in 225/50 ZR15
so , I'll probably go with the Cooper Cobra GT or these Bridgestones Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Position  Click here - for info Is anyone running these.. They have a 30day trial on them also. 30 days is like 5000 miles for me. If I don't like them, bring them back and get other ones with either credit or refund ( if cheaper tires )

For me, I was thinking about the non-competition ones. I just want a nice sticky set of tires that can handle going to the track as well as regular driving. Currently running on old Bridgestone RE730s that are completely shot.
