Default Which tires to get next?

Hey guys! Im in need of some rear tires. Iv had Yoks and Dunlops. The Yoks handled great, but i didnt like the way the tread wore. And the for the Dunlpos, dont get me started. They suck IMHO! Since i live in South Florida, i need a good all around weather tire. Any suggestions would be appreciated! thxs!

how much are you willing to spend? By all around weather, you mean rain, correct?

How do you drive the car? What are you looking for out of the tire and how much do you want to spend?
Let me know if I can help.

Well, i have a turbo setup, but i wouldnt consider myself a very aggressive driver. ( Only when needed... ) Living in South Florida with the rainy season just around the corner id prefer a better wet road tire. Money really isnt an issue, but i dont want to break the bank. I appreciate your help!

The Bridgestone S03 and the Goodyear GSD3 would both be good options. If I can help let me know.

Goodyear GSD3 were rated #1 in the wet. they are around 800 for the set if I recall. if you looking for tires >600 or so, take a look at the Kumho SPTs (400 a set).

Iv been checking around and it seems that the Bridgestone S03's are being fazzed out for the S05. The S03's are on sale. I may have to jump on those instead of the Goodyears.
