well i dont know if theyre the best as theyre the first all season performance tires ive had, but i got these no name "Aurora" tires that are suprisingly good. made by hankook.. got em at eppies,.. they ride 100x better than the pilot sports i had before, and i can actually drive the car in a bit of snow.

Out of the choices you listed, I'd pick the Falkens.

Kumho ECSTA HP4
Bridgestone POTENZA RE950

those are my two recommendations

I'm using the Pirelli PNero M&S tires. Saved my butt in the snow a few times last year. I have ~ 10k on them now and still could run them about 10k more.

I wouldn't recommend those tires. Stick with the Bridgestone tires mentioned above and you'll be better off. Go to tirerack.com and check out the tires on there. If you see something you like check out the specs and look at the UTQG rating. IIRC, a 400 rating is like a 60K mile tire. So 200 would be 30k, 100 is 15k, etc. Of course, if your doing burnouts or taking the corners harder than an old lady in her 90's expect half that or less.

And from my experience, Eppies usually has good prices.

Ive have the falkens ziex 512's up front, and they have been on for about 8,000 miles ... and still look brand new. Handle amazing for the money...not the best in the snow, but I think it might have something to do with the advans on the back.

i have the pirelli pzero nero m&s on my evo for my winter tires...they're pretty decent. a good tire for the money would be sumitomo htr+...i had them on my eclipse before i got my evo. they were amazing for the price.
