4 tires, which one to go with? BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW-2
Avon Tech M500
Pirelli PZero Nero M&S
The Eagle F1 GS-D3
Any suggestions on which one, I have narrowed it down to these 4... anyone that has had these let me know your experience with them...

No opinions on the other two? My dad has a porsche and the perellis do him good. Two different cars I know, but porsche's are "driving cars". I do love the tread design on the bf's though.

I have just worn out my first set of Eagle F1 GS-D3s and about to get another set. My SS is a DD and these are the best tires, wet or dry, that I've ever had.

I have the PZero M+S, don't much care for it. The treads gone after 20K, starting to show the belts. Never hooked very well at all. Even in totally dry conditions (i.e. hadn't rained for over a week) it would spin a bit from a dead stop in first gear. Rain handling after 10K was terrible, always felt like I was going to get killed if I went the speed limit.
Also bear in mind that the "M+S" is supposed to stand for "Mud and Snow". Unless you plan to drive it in the mud (why?) or the snow (just don't!) you don't need that. Same reason people recommend the KDW, not the KDWS (S for Snow). These cars just aren't made for those conditions. I've had to drive it in the snow before, but after the last time, I decided that if it ever snows here again, I'm parking the car and calling in sick.

If I had the money to spend GS-D3's is what I would buy but I bought me some Avon M550 A/S and I really like them. They grip very well for the price in wet or dry weather.
