Tire question

Hey everyone,

I did a quick search under our forum for "tires" and didn't get much. I need to replace my tires and am wondering what everyone feels the best performing tires for wet, and dry is. I'm considering getting the BFGoodrich G-Force Comp 2 AS.

My question is, what do people recommend? Before anyone asks, I do a bit of spirited driving, some tight corners, and some higher speed.

Continental Extreme Contact DWS all season tires.
Rears lasted me 25+ k miles. Very good considering some other tires only go to 12-16k...

Take a look at surveys/ reviews at http://www.tirerack.com/tires/survey...jsp?type=UHPAS

Ugh - all seasons are good in all seasons, fun in none.

I'd give serious consideration to dedicated summer and winter rim/tire combinations. Much more fun at all times of the year that way.
