Yea, the Pilot sport 2 is great, i ride with that before, but i hear from the other, AD07 is better on the dry surface, so i put it on my car, and it is better then the P.S 2.
Now Michelin just post a new tire, RE010R, who say that is the perfect one, except R tire!!

I got Toyo Proxes T1-R:
225/40/18 (front)
255/35/18 (rear)
These actually replace the T1-S. They are nice tires but I did notice that it's a little bit bumpier but that's what I get for going from 17's to 18's. I got it at great price too so it was a bargain for me

well I guess depending on where your located...if theres snow or a lot of rain...Ultra High Performance All-Seasons are good?
ie. Pirelli P-Zero M/S
I have them on my coupe and my friend has them on is GTi with 19" shoes...he says that they great...I think they're decent lol
But I wood reccomend Mich PS2...they seem to be a great tire...ppl give 10s for reviews

People w/19's, how is your tire wear?
Specifically the C230WZ. I have 17000 miles on my original Pilot Sports (17's) and it looks like theres a lot of tread left.
I was considering going to 19's but if I have to change my tires every 7000 miles or something ridiculous like that, I probably won't.
Thanks!

Falkens are great tires..........for the price! They look really good, perform fair, and are very reasonably priced. I have a set of Falken GR-Beta 235/25/ZR19's in the garage.They have about 15k on them and while they are still perfectly good to drive on...they definitley are showing wear.

Another thing to consider also is that if you lower the car, that will affect your treadwear as well, depending on whether or not you get a camber kit for the car.

paid 850 for four new Falken FK-451 tires. 235/35-19 fronts and 265/30-19 rears. it's my first time buying tires made in Japan and i'm quite happy with them, especially for the price. i've always bought Michelins and Pirelli tires. so far these Falken have 8,000 miles on them with more than half the treat left.
would i purchase these Falken tires again? no, because they stretch out too much even with the correct size.

I currently run on PS1's, but once those are spent down to race-slicks, I'm going with PS2's or the new MICHELIN WRC Pilot Exalto PE2 (not the Exalto A/S).
