Here is my short list of possible summer tires. I will likely get them for next year. The last three digits are the UTQG tread wear rating (grains of salt not included). I've give stars for higher wear, performance (internet searches) and looks. Why looks? Why not! I won't be using even the lowest performing skins on this list to their fullest potential. I'd like to scream around corners once in a while and have more confidence in breaking but most of the time I'm commuting or taxiing kids. The more stars, the more I like them.
If you have any experience with any of these your input would be most appreciated.

I have used the Falken's and found that their breaking point was rather abrupt, requiring instant and deliberate steering corrections.
