Bridgestone RE11: After 12K Miles, theUndisputed KING of street tires. Review inside

Also, take a look at the Tire Racks Survey results. I've used this in the past with success.

For a 19" tire, I'd say there is very little argument that the RE-11 is the best out there. Plus, given that the price is not significantly higher. Seems like a no-brainer.
Yeah, but check out the Dunlop ZII in the spider charts linked in my OP. They just decimate everything, but I'd have to go back to OEM rear width

The BFG's are close to the Dunlop's in dry, but fall short on the wet...

This is my quandary....

EDIT: So far, I see a lot of love for the Hankook RS3's in that thread -- I thought about them, but it seems they only really excel in the wet.
