Default Eagle F1's, Nitto Invo's, Falken 452's?

Which tires should i get out of those, or does any one have any other recamendations? Also i cant decide whether to get strictly summer tires for my new rims or all seasons.

get summer tires that have good traction when wet. and use your old rims as dedicated winter rims.

Default I have the 452s and I like them A LOT...but I've never tracked them. I'm in the San Francisco area

so it's a year-round tire for me.........

The difference between an all-season tire and a high-performance summer tire is noticeable....

Default Had F1's on my GLi for two years, autocrossed with them for 1 year, took 1st in stock street class

But they ARE a more of an oem style tire, sidewalls are soft.. which MAY be a good thing for you, if purely for street driving, I would absolutely recommend. The rain performance is the best I have ever had in a tire. They slice through deeeep puddles like they're not even there. Dry grip is outstanding also....

If my budget allows, I am going to replace with the same, since I drive the GLi to and from work everyday... and wife drives it a lot too.. very confident tire.

Tirerack and some other review sites have typically given them extremely positive results.

Definitely a summer only tire also... once you get to about mid 40's F, they get a little hard
