Price, noise, wear rate, and wet weather performance are not issues. I do however, want to be able to drive 'em on dry streets without undue worries about punctures.
So wadda ya think?
I was thinking about Falken Azenis, but I'd like to run it past the forum first.

Had Kumhos for 2k miles and just switched to S03s...
Granted the Kumhos were 225/45/17 and the S03s are 235/40/18s but there is quite a difference in wet grip between the two. The S03s are harder to break loose on wet roads than the Kumhos. I did like the overall feel and handling of the Kumhos tho and would probably buy them again(great price for the performance). Also, the Kumhos were stiffer than the S03s and a bit noisier on the highway.
If you have the budget, get the S03s.

I know the S03 is beloved of the TT-peeps, But I was looking for ...
... somthing without the design constraints of wet weather performance. My TT doesn't leave the garage unless the weather forecast is clear for two states in every direction! ;-) Except of course on race days. I'm looking for a tire one stop short of R-compound. In fact I'd consider R-compounds if I could find one durable enough.
