I drive a 99 Teg sedan, and I am looking at new summer tires (I have winter tires, so snow traction is not an issue, so the Ziex may be thrown out of the mix). Anyways, I am looking to get something that is somewhat sticky and provides good wet traction. The car is not AutoX'd and is used as a daily driver. Since I am looking at summer specific tires, I know I am going to sacrafice some of the longevitiy of the tires, but I do not want something that will be done in two seasons. The car is will be lowered on either Tein H-Tech's or Comptech Sport Springs (both subtle drops) and paired with Neuspeed/Koni yellows........the wheels are 16" Rota C8's.........

I have it narrowed down to three tires (in no particular order)..........thoughts/suggestions/opinions?

Falken Ziex ZE 512 ($70)

BF Goodrich G-Force Sport ($73)

Kumho Ecsta SPT ($81)

 

I've heard good things about the Kumho Ecsta

 

I'm looking at both the the SPT's and the G-Force Sports too.

But then again I'm tired of going through tires so i might just settle for Avid H4s tires since i have a pretty long communte now. h: 500 tread wear. How bad are these tires for wet traction compared to the summer tires above?
