Which Tyre would you recommend?
I've done soooooooo much reading up on tyres and still can't acertain which is the most suitable out of those I have available to me. The rims are Work GS1, 20 x 9.5 & 20 x 10.5 and the sizes I'm after are 255/30/20 & 285/30/20. My brand options are:
I'm going to occasionally track my car BUT NOT ON ANY OF THESE. I'll keep my 18's for that. What I want is a tyre that is going to be reasonably comfortable & quiet but still perform well for the odd spirited weekend drive. We don't get snow, Our winters are usually pretty short on rain and the temp rarely gets below 18º Celcius (65ºF) so a Summer tyre should be fine all year round. So to the Q.
P.S. I intend going twin turbo in the not too distant future too so need to factor that in.
- Michelin PS2 @ $3000 ( High wear on our bitumen roads apparently)
- Yokohama advan sport v103 @ $2800 ( again low wear rating of 180)
- Hankook Ventus V12 evo @ $2500
- Falken FK452 @ $2000
- Kumho KU19 (front) & KU31 (rear) cheapies @ $1550

- Which of the above would be the best contenders?
- The Yokohama & Falken I could buy tomorrow but are worlds apart in cost. Are they worlds apart in performance & road noise, would the Falken suffice and save me a packet?
