Default New front tires

Currently have the Hankook K106 (DD) ($75)
(like them, great ride and decent handeling, got about 45k out of them)
Might stay with them, but they are becoming harder to find
http://www.discounttirezone.com/HANKOOK-RA...p_488-4354.html

Thinking about upgrading, but not spending an arm and a leg on some expensive ass tires that get horrble tread life out of them, dont track the car.

looking at:
BF goodridge g-force T/A KDW2 ($109)
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?ti...00&autoModClar=

Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 ($96) or get the star specs
http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/t...n=Direzza+DZ101

or something else, what (would like to bust it on the turns some more)

THANKS!

Here's another option:

300 tread rating and they're pretty inexpensive.

Im really like these. Had good reviews, anyone have these, like them, tread life? Can you ride dirty with them?

I still have the Hankook K106 on the rears, they are pretty much brand new. I would just like to slowly switch over to a new tire

There can be issues with mixing tires. They are not going to hurt the car but the handling can be unpredictable.
