Question Which Tire would you go for?

Ok guys I need to change my tires bad, I should have changed them a few months back but I've been lazy. Ok here are the three tires I'm thinking of and bare in mind that we get 0 Rain all year round, so it's sunny, hot and humid 99.99% of the year, so with that in mind what would you choose from the below:

1 - Mitchelin Pilot Sport PS2

2 - Yokohama Advan Sport

3 - BF Goodrich G-Force

I haven't had experience in any but these were some I was suggested to by my cousin so I wanted to see what your comments would be and what you'd choose, thanks.

Invo's Alll the way Mazin. you can't go wrong with them. Especially for the GCC most guys down here are using em and they are giving 100% good feed back about them.

Amazing Traction in wet and dry roads, plus they're very very very quite.

You should check em out before choosing any of the above.

It might be a bit costy comparing them to the tires you've listed, but you won't regret em.

EDIT: You will be happy with them even on the track, if your going to track your car anytime.

Here this might help: http://www.nittotire.com/#index%2Etire%2Einvo

I was going to go for the BF Goodrich G-Force Sport when comparing the reviews, shame they don't have the Nitto Invos.

The Nitto's look nuts, check out how they look: www.qatarspeed.com/forum/imgcache/38348.png

I hope they don't wear out in like 2 months, do you know how long they last in general with spirited driving on a daily process?

Also where can I get these from because I highly doubt they'll have them in Saudi Arabia (I'll double check)

A very close friend of mine has them on a S2000. Hes been using them for the past 4-5months. They're still brand new.

He drives his car on daily base. Spirited driving most of the time, launching it hard, and etc. Still no complains about them wearing.

I've drove it couple of times after installing them tires. I must say they are the most grippy tires i've ever seen on a daily driven cars. Plus the ride very comfortably on our sh!#y roads.

I launched the car with the RPM Hitting the CUT-OFF then i Left my leg off the clutch, there's no wheel spin at all, all I felt is the car bouncing and shaking because of the grip.
