Tire for 18" BBS SX
Just bought a new set of wheels from ebay.
These are my options:
Pirelli P7000 Supersport
Ultra high performance year round
P225/40ZR-18 88W B
Falken Ziex ZE-512
All-season performance. W-speed rated.
225/40ZR-18 92W REIN
Other suggestion is also welcome
By the way, I only want to buy all-season tires

Stay away from P7000 Super Sports...
mine got very loud I got headaches. I replaced them with more than 80% tread left - no kidding!
Besides, they are only "okay" in the dry and horrible in the wet.
I know you said only all-seasons but just in case, here are the tires I've tried, ranked from first to last:
1) Bridgestone Pole Position S03 - excellent in the dry and phenomenal in the wet. I have had them on for about 1,500 miles and tire wear is a concern.
2) Toyo Proxes T1-S - comparable to the S03's in the dry and decent in the wet. Wear is excellent, my set has seen about 18K miles and 2 track events and it still has 10-15% tread left.
3) Dunlop Sport SP9000 - identical to the T1-S in performance but loses out in noise, but only slightly.
4) Dunlop Sport SP5000 - this is my choice for all-season tires, if I had to go with all-season tires. They are a compromise at best, in dry and wet.
5) Michelin Pilot Alpins - Well, never got try them in their element, what with the winter we got last year. They are horrible in the dry but maybe all winter tires are?
6) Pirelli P7000 SS - you can probably get 100K miles out of these, that is, if you can stand the noise. They are louder than truck tires.
BTW, want another set of SX's? ~;^)
