Default All out performance street tires

This is the first of two polls. This one answers the question of: "What is the best performance street tire?" Wear matters a little (or else Hoosiers would be in the game) and rain matters a little. But performance on the street and occasional track days counts more.

Where are the OEM Bridgestone tires? There are probably other people like me who prefer them over others (or at least have the most experience with them.

Bang for the buck is the Hankook Rs2.. I think they are one of the best and can be had for less.

hmmm, its impossible to tell since no one can possibly have experience with all these tires.

I just got a set of Goodyear Eagle F1's

This tire has won more awards than any other (I think). It's won C&D best performance tire, it's the highest rated tire on tirerack, it's won or came in 2nd on the tirerack tests, it won best overall and best 'wet' tire in Eurocar tire review etc..

Can't say about the others, but so far the F1s feel great. I don't have enough driving time with them (just put them on) so I can't say how they compare to the OEMs, but the have a longer tread wear rating..

Great tire (although not especially cheap) but what sizes do you use? AP1's really need a 245/45 in the rear which is not available.

I didn't include the OEM S-02's because of the S-03. Should I have the S-02 and 03? I thought the 03 replaced the 02.
