Take yer pick, but do remember the lives of these rubbers are short.

no comments on the bridgestone or pirelli, but the S-drive have pretty crappy wet grip sweat.gif

The Bridgestones lose their wet grip after 20,000 to 30,000 kms. After that they aquaplane like nobody's business and RWD become sensitive to the slightest hits of power in the wet.

The S-drives are OK in the wet. They're the stockers that come with the Evo and I suppose the AWD makes up for the shite wet grip since you have power on 4. I currently drive on these.

The P-Zero Neros are awesome handlers, but they cost a bomb, have the lifespan of a mayfly and their NVH jacks up a few notches as they get older.
