    Tires. Dunlops, Yokos, or BFGoodrich?

    I'm going to need new tires by the end of the summer. Currently I'm running 225/50/R15 Dunlop SP Sport 8000s on my Kosei's. I love the tires and the traction, but I'd like something that wears a little better (though these haven't been horrible). Rain traction isn't a big thing as long as they don't kill me. I do not want anything that will provide worse traction then what I currently have though even if it wears better.

    I'm basically wanting the best tire I can get for under or around $400 total when looking at dry traction and wear. The three I'm looking closely at are the ES-100s (although I've read some bad on them), the Dunlop SP 8000s again, or the BFGoodrich g-force Sport (looking at these the closest). Thanks for any opinions/direction.

            ES 100s are crap. My vote goes for the G-force out of those choices.
