Default Easy. Florida based recomendation: Money no object: Potenza S03's

Money an object: Kumho Ecsta SUpra 712's. They cut through standing water like buttah.

Default EZ - Pole Position S-03 - Lotz a GRRRIIIIPPP and quiet -

great in rain - went through Dallas flooding the other day and was zipping by all others.

TireRack just reduced price I think

And do a search - I think a lot of vets have gone to S-03s recently

RI don't think you're going to get anything street legal with much more grip than the S-03.

S03's are fantastic! no-brainer now that tirerack dropped the price.

Default s03 is the bandwagon fav...and i was about to hop on...

simply because i dont have the resources to test out the tires I want to before buying. In the last 3 years ive had: avs sports, conti sports, pilot sx, and pilot sports, reo40, p6000 and now the t1s...

I havent really beeen pushing the tires yet...I will when i reach 500 miles...so far they are gripping quite well...on par with my Pilots which were worn down 10k miles. Cant really go wrong with S03s, but in my 19" tire case the t1s was known to be a strong tire so i went with it, even though the s03 was $70 or so cheaper.

Check on the S4 forum...the t1s is one of the fav tires on that forum with members logging over 15k miles on the tires.
