Default What tires do YOU have?

Just like it says, Ive put a post up already cause I was going to get the bfgoodrich sports, but I wanted to know what everyone has so I can kind of find a median. Please explain type of driving, rating on tires you give(like or not), and any other info you can. EVERYONE!!!!!!!

Fuzion ZRi's 275/40-17. I've put about 10k on them so far and still have great tread left.

BFG g-force TA KDs 275/30/17. Amazing street tire. Pulled a 1.829 60' and got 15,000 out of my set. Somewhat decent in the rain but impossible in any snow at all. I strongly recommed them if you're willing to spend $240/tire.

275/40/17 KDW's and i love them so far. Dont have many miles on them yet but they're alot quieter and grippier than my previous tires (Falken FK451, Fuzions, Sumitumo, or the BFG comp ta).

275/40/17. I had f1's, but they came with the car when I bought it so I didnt get to test them new. I heard alot about the nitto 555s, which I would like because I am a daily driver. But for the price I think I might get the bfgoodrich g force sport. same size al around, so I dont want to mix and match.

some generic 245/50/16 up front and Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials out back in 255/50/16. I love those tires. They are the stickiest thing I have ever driven on the street and the mileage doesnt seem like it is going to be too low. I got them for $157.99 each through a non-sponsor. You can spend that on tires and not have to spend 5X that on suspension to make it hook.

Let's see . . . I've run . . . and many I am still running . . .

275/40ZR17 GY Eagle F1 (stock tires) Ok but wouldn't ever buy again
275/35ZR18 and 295/35ZR18 Michelin Pilot Sport. Excellent tire, pricey though.
275/40ZR17 BFG g-Force KDW. Another really good tire.
275/35ZR17 and 295/35ZR18 Kuhmo Ecsta MX. Very cheap tire. You get what you pay for.
245/45ZR17 BFG g-Force KDWS. Not too bad.
245/45ZR17 BFG g-Fore KD. Very sticky tire, but also very noisey.
245/75R16 Bridgestone Duravis M773. Absolutely the crappiest tire I've ever owned.
245/75R16 Bridgestone Dueller AT Revis. Awesome tire.

MT ET Drag Radials and Pirelli's in the front, on stock 16" wheels. Daily driver, and I'm not concerned with wear on the MTs.
