Default Getting NEW TIRES!!! input anyone?

Hey guys and gals,

Sometime this week I am going to change my quickly fading Bridgstone Potenza S0-3's to another tire. I am choosing between the all-new Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's and the heritage-based Yokohama AVS Sports. I was wondering if any of you fine people had any input as to prefrences towards or biases against either tire. Which one would be more comfortable, handle better, better in the wet, wear evenly, less likely to tear, better overall, and all the other goodies?
If anyone is running either tire, please let me know you experiences and all...
This would be very helpful because I am going to buy the tires either later today, or early tomorrow.

Thanks alot

That's not the case at all...They are amazing through turns, great in the wet, and really nice all-around. But first, I think that the sidewall may be a little too stiff for me, b/c my car is becoming reasonably uncomfortable, and two, I want to try a new tire so that I can get experience with various companies.
I've already ran the bridgestones', pirelli's, and pilot sports, these are about the last two tires that I want to try out.
But since these are probably going to be the last set of tires I buy for my TiTTy, I want to get the better one, and be ready for some track days over the summer.
Otherwise, the S0-3's are f*king awesome

Had S03s previously, have F1 GSD3s now. I think the S03s had better traction.
