some tire options - recommendations?
I got some price quotes from some local places that could get me new tires by friday (going up to the sierras then)...i know these aren't winter tires, but the roads will be wet, not snowy or icy.
which of these would you guys recommend?
Bridgestone Dayton ZR $145.00
Kumho ECSTA $114.00
Goodyear F1GS $110.00
Toyo SZ4 $125.00
Toyo TS1 $175.00
everything below incl mounting:
Yokohama DS 100 $122.00
Kumho Supras $130.00
Pirelli 7000 $161.00
all these places will pricematch Tirerack...so price isn't too much of an issue

thanks...but maybe i should be more clear on my limits and prefs (edit)
*i have $600, maybe $650
*i need them by friday
*i don't care if it gets me an extra 5% performance, if it costs $50 more
*i am concerned with performance, but not at the expense of treadwear, noise, and wet traction
*i have $600, maybe $650
i'm basically trying to strike a balance between price, performance, treadwear, noise, and wet traction....this is harder than it looks :-P

I will continue to push Falken GRB 451 until my last breath.
They offer all of the qualities you mentioned. Very good in wet and great performance tire. They wear well, but are a tad noisy compared to Blowtenzas or michelins. You can get them for about $135 I think.
