In the August 2009 issue of Car and Driver there is an article about budget tires and how they compare to the famous Michelin PS2

Thanks also I have been searching for a review of the Nitto INVO, they may be better for our cars than the BMW, as we understeer and they oversteer, might they strike a balance? My son runs the Bridgestone 760's on his GTO and really likes them, they seemed better in the rain than my RE-01's when he and I did a wet road rally.

I think I'm going to go with the Dunlops, Discount Tire recommended them to me. And if I ever get really into the track stuff, the KUHMOS have the best dry traction

For my gf I think I'll get the tires with the best possible wet traction, so she is safe. Looks like the Dunlops win there too.
