i paint portraits, im working on finding a good picture to paint for my next project, alot of my old stuff got lost when i moved back.

When painting using reference photos, do you first trace/outline the shapes with pencil? Or do you rough it out with the paint, sans sketches?

Looked in the Yokohama site, they don't come up in my size.

The Yokahama's are not bad either. I have run those before.

I like the tread pattern of the SDRIVE, the only thing that concerns me about them, is the fact that I read a few reviews on how noisy they are and, are only good for dry roads and about 50k miles, sometimes even less if you track/autoX. :(

Tires can last 50k miles? That's news to me. 200 treadwear ftw

Been on s drives for about a year. Not noisy yet and great in the rain. 2 autox's and about 10k miles on them, I'm just about ready to do their first rotation. Although I don't think they're as sticky as rivals (often compared to direzzas) they're quieter and treadwear is better.

That would be the main factor is tread wear.You know the lower the number the better grip you have,but they wear out faster. That's the trade off vs a higher number tread wear means they last longer but not the same grip.

Alrighty, that's what I'm leaning towards.

Very tough finding a medium on tires but, Dunlops it is y'all.

I tried roughing it out with paint but didnt like the results. So this time around im going to lay it down with pencil first and then going on with paint.

I find if you can get a tire around a 300 tread wear so + or - ,it's a pretty good tire wear wise and traction.
