i want good quality nad odnt want to go crazy, should i get falken, toyo yoko, bf goodrich,

i think the t1r's stink, and i think all the tires shops push them because there is a lot of markup on them. let me know what you think, i want a sticky tire that feels good on the road.

Falkens are not quiet...

My suggestions:
Yokohama Advan Sport
Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Position

and if you want cheap performance:
Dunlop Direzza DZ101
BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW2

With Bridgestone RE050 potenzas you can expect at best 15 - 17K miles out of them from normal driving. It's all over the web, the vette crowd hates them. Not a good deal for 1200$ worth of rubber.

In my opinion, Toyo's are loud and Dunlop's are not very good. I just recently went back to Michelin (PS2) and I love these tires. They're pricey but worth it!

I've put about 10k miles on my Falken FK452's and they still look new (tread depth) and are about as quiet on my 20's as the stockers were on my 18's (at least it seems that way to me)

I've got the Bridgestone Pole's on my G with 19's and the fronts are loud as hell...They are good handling, but annoying unless ur doing 70mph or more.
