Three tire choices, please offer opinions.

Hey guys,

I need new tires and I have a choice of 3 from a local distributor. I will be running 245/35 or 255/35 front and 275/35 or 285/30 rear. My only requirements are that I can flip the tire (I run neg camber and do not want to install camber kits) and I really would like a quiet, long lasting tire. I do not track my car, mostly highway, so performance is not much of an issue. Although in south Florida, rain is pretty common.

My choices are all roughly the same price.
Nankang NSII
Goodyear Eagle GSD3
Dunlop SP9000

I actually have Nankang on the front right now because I had a pair lying around. I can't really complain on much other than they might be a tad loud.

What do you think? And please only respond if you have had these tires. I don't need a link to tirerack's reviews.

Thank you

Do a search on Vredestein tires. I have them on my car they are awesome. Best tires I've had in the rain ever. Drives like its dry. Their not too expensive either heard you can get about 20K miles from them.

Honestly, none are long lasting or quiet. If I had to choose I'd do the Goodyear. Of the bunch it will be the quietest and offer better dry/wet balance. The Dunlop is being discontinued and wasn't that great in the dry.
