help me pick a tire from these

[irishpwr46]

im buying a pair of tires for the rear wheels. ive narrowed it down to these four without really breaking the bank.im going with 255/45/18s
i dont have the money to go spending 200+ per tire right now, so i went with these. all have a treadwear of about 300. and all are moderately priced. anyone with any experience of any of them please feel free to speak up. im looking for all the pros and cons here so have at it.

first, General Exclaim UHP

second, Dunlop Direzza D101

third, Goodyear F1 Supercars

out of those 4, i'd probably go with the goodyears.

 

[irishpwr46]

im actually leaning towards those, they seem like a great deal

none of the above...the F1 supercars are sweet but wear FAST. I have BF Goodrich KDW 2 T/A's....LOVE EM. Only tire i will run in the future.

^^^^^ what he said, all the wheels are gay, the KDWS looks sweet and handle godly

Definitely stay away from the Generals and Sumitomos HTR Z II's. The Sumitomo HTRZ III's are much better IMO.

FWIW, I LOVE my Hankook Ventus V12 Evo's. Best overall street tire I have ran (especially for the $).

that is all i ever had when i was N/A. Now that I have a procharger, i will never use these again. I couldnt catch traction for crap.

I RUN THE GY'S and have no issues with them. and they wear under hard use cause they are a grippy 220. check all the specs on all the tires, seems you are shopping price rather then what the tires will give you. i have good experience with the f1's and they are stink cheap in a 255/45 18. the sumi's last forever, but as noted by the other post the HTR III's are a much better tire. i actually use the F1's for practice sessions and jump to a dedicated track tire for one heat and Time Trials.
