Ok, the tires that were on the car when I bought it 4 years ago, were Pirelli P700 supersports, so when they became tired I bought another set of 245/45/17's, all around.
I hated these tires and when it was time to replace them, I bought a set of Kumho 712's and these tires I had great luck with and were 10 times better than the P7000 ss.
After the 712's became worn, I almost bought the 712's again, because "for the money" I thought these tires couldn't be beat.
Sooooo, I started looking around and decided to give the Yokahama AVS ES 100's a try, BAD IDEA, they are great in the rain, handle the twisties a little better than the 712's (stronger sidewall) BUT they are LOUD AS HELL and I only have 6,000 miles on them.
Can you guys suggest a tire that is great in the rain, handles great on dry pavement AND is quiet, DOES THIS TIRE EXIST!
