Tire recogmendations, what I have to choose from
So I work at a dealership and I can get good pricing on tires but limited to what I can get.
Had the parts guy look some up for 255/35/18's
The ones he quoted me were:
BFG- G-Force Sports $178.75
Pirelli- Nero All season $182.65
Hancook- Ventus V12 Evo $210.50
I daily drive my car and I live in WA state so it does rain but its about to be summer. I try to take my car to the track 3-5 times a summer and I do "spirited driving" allot on these back roads around here. So doe's anyone have any experience with any of these regarding performance? I am coming from PS2's but don't feel like dropping $1000 on tires right now since I am selling the car next winter. I can probably get other brands/models if you guys have better options. Also not looking for commuter/DD tires, these needs to be trackable. Feedback would be much appreciated.

I personally think pirelli's are one of the worst tires, super soft they last for crap. Not a big fan of BFG's unless pass/truck stuff. Hankook I had once they were pretty good. I would go with falken 452's for like 125 bucks off tirerack, they stick nice enough
