  Yoko is good but is noisy
  Falken wears fast and lousy on wet surface
  P Zero is not bad .. and the Rosso Edition is great

  I agree that falken tyres wear out fast. But my previous ST115 was excellent in wet conditions. Even better than it was on dry conditions, the ride was for comfortable on a rainy day. Now my new car comes with a Potenza something... Do you think i should change my tyres? if so what performance tyre would u recomend me?

  if it is oem one then likely to be potenza re88. i had them on my civic, until i drove on a pin and the left rear wheel kena puncture . now i using a 2nd hand dunlop tyre for the left rear and the rest are still the re88. since my 30k service nearing, so i thinking about changing all the tyres... btw the potenza s-03 pole position got 195/60/R15 size?

  SO3 diff class from AVS Sports and G3...
  
  If u can afford it, SO3 undoubtedly... you can also consider Yokohama Advan AD07... arguably the best street tyre that is "almost" a semi-slick...

  Thinking of getting the Brigestone Potenza GIII or the Pirelli's P7000, any bros used them before? Grip levels? Road noise? Durability? Which one is a better choice?
  
  I have asked around, Brigestone Potenza GIII is S$200/pc and Pirelli's P7000 is S$220/pc, both 215/45 i think, where can get it cheaper?
