Default what are some tires that are better than stock,

i used to have yokohama avs es100 on my previous car and they were alright. i will be selling my rims/tires soon and will be getting some rims. i want to know what are my choices. i dont need super sticky tires that last me 5k miles. i dont go racing, but i do appreciate the s2k's handling so i do drive a little spirited sometimes.

any suggestions?

First off there are no tires that I have seen that are better than stock for performance. There are tires that will last longer and are better in the rain and they will cost less. The Yoko ES100, Kumho MX and the Fuzion ZRI would be the best. All of these tires are less expensive than the OE tires.
If I can help let me know.

Are the tires that you see the tires that your company sells or are your experiences more broad? I know that your company does not sell Falken so I am wondering. I know that the RT615's are an extremely high performing street tire and compare to tires even twice their price.

Yes, they are.

Bridgestone is about the most wonderful tire makers there is. Unfortunately, with quality comes a price.....but you have to pay to play.
