    Well my craptastic Federal tires are wearing down quick and I estimate another 10K miles on them before they will go which means I'll be replacing them shortly.

    I am sick of replacing tires all the time. My drag days are pretty much over until I go 2.5L so I am not looking for all out performance. I want an All-Season tire that will perform really well and hold up to a little joy riding. 130 mph rating preferred. Price tag of course I want to keep down. Road noise I want to keep down as well...the Federals howl and roar and I hate them.

    Recommendations for a good performance All season that will live a long life and can handle twisty's well?

    Nitto NeoGen. 280 treadware, cheap, and you can run lots of negative camber without wearing your tires fast.

    The re070 is by far the best tire I have ever had the privilege to ride on how ever not cheap but well worth it oh and the twistys have no chance when it comes to these babys

    That was my first thought but 280 treadwear is not that great. I need some 50K plus mile tires. I don't autocross or anything but just drive my car daily. I have a 60 mile commute to and from work everyday.

    I have used them for close to 25k miles now and autox'ed for an entire year. So they could be a 50k tire.

    Hmmm interesting. Also looking at the Bridgestone Potenza 009's.

    Toyo Proxes 4

    I had these on my 04 and they did really well. Lots of grip wet or dry. I got 35K out of them and would have got 40K+ if I had not had such an aggressive alignment.

    The Proxes 4 is an all season with a 300+ treadwear rating.

    If going for a sumer tire the Falken FK-452 would be my choice.
