Honestly, ive had people ask me "whats the better tire (insert brand here) or (insert brand here) in your opinion?"
My response is usually something like "Which is better, Nike or Reebok?"
Essentially, just about EVERYBODY makes decent tires. As for whats suited to you, however, some might have a slight edge over others. For a high performance/max performance summer tire, you can get a good tire from Michelin, Pirelli, Continental, Bridgestone, Firestone, Yokohama, Sumitomo, Hankook, Goodyear, Uniroyal, BF Goodrich, and Dunlop. And those are just ones off the top of my head. Read the reviews of people at tire rack and see what they have to say. Or, if you've been happy with the pirellis that are on there, go with them again. At least thats a known product for you.

Well since you've got folks offering .02 on tires they probably have no experience with, and you've got bench racers touting something else, and others focusing on budget?
I'd say you're right back to where you started Rub!
Might have to do your own research on the interwebs.

I've used tire rack a lot I found the reviews and the ratings are usually right on. they have a scale that goes from 1-10 for wear wet traction dry traction comfort etc. it's been right on every time.
Cool, you've got a TT, too.
Got some Nexen's on mine that I've tracked, running 235's on the front, 265's on the rear. They're cheap but suck now that they are wearing down. Going to get one of new models of Yokohamas soon. Their sets are getting almost as good as the Michellins without the high price.

You have the new gen?
Got an old '01-225 with APR tune. Love it.
I've actually USED and enjoyed Falkens and Pirelli's the most. My Pirelli's stuck and run wonderfully with tight yet absorbing sidwalls, and the Falken's are just race ready - and feel like it too. Very harsh. I prefer Pirelli, but they do wear out freaking fast
