A lot depends on what you are looking for. Do you want more performance (summer tires) or more durability (tread wear)? Do you need an all-season tire? Does it rain/snow a lot in your area? Go to www.tirerack.com and compare the ratings and reviews. The Goodyear F1 GS-D3 has good ratings.

ALWAYS my number one recommendation/choice - Toyo T1-S
Rising star - Goodyear GS-D3
Always good, but always expensive - Michelin Pilot Sport
Good for some, not good for others - Pirelli PZero Rosso

T1S's Good but loud once they start showing some wear. Narrow compared to others in the same size, this can be a good thing. Good wet AND dry traction. Best thing: they are LIGHT

Rossos: Best overall tire. Not the best at anything, aside from ride comfort and quietness

S03s: Wide, great dry and ok wet. Good wear. HEAVY TIRES

Sports: narrow, med weight, ok dry, good wet, good wear...never really liked mine.

Pzero Neros: great overall like the Rossos, maybe better dry traction but very similar. Med weight. They can be ROTATED! This does not hold true for other directionals (if you are staggared)


Cant really go wrong with any of those.

C32 tires

I have the PZero Rossos on my C32 and they provide a very comfortable ride (probably at some expense to braking/cornering performance). If you are mainly concerned about ride quality, I would highly recommend them.
