My favorites are Kumho XS and Hankook RS-3. Yokohama Advan AD08's are incredible cold but fall off fast when heated up. In hot climates you can overheat the Kumho's. I didn't have good luck with the Pilot Sport Cups. When they lost grip I couldn't recover control. Let's talk front tires. Nothing lasts or is decent IMO. Dial in enough negative camber for hard cornering and the inside wears out from hard braking. We just have too much brake dive for decent wear. The Kumho's are the most communicative, sound and feel, but the Hankooks are a smidge faster, me thinks. I have no experience on the other brands.
