ON-TOPIC: BF Goodrich G-Forces are the best summer tires I have ever owned.
OFF-TOPIC: I have to ask, I thought you were selling the car?

how many miles do you drive a year?

If they last the season i'll be happy. I would like something with good wet traction too.

I could have sworn I read a thread that said "STI for sale to a good home"??
Could be wrong. Anyways, the G-Forces are amazing in the rain too.

The S-03's are magic in the rain man. I loved them. Ask Barry how the KDW2's were.

+1 for the BF Goodrich G-force sports... they are a great performer for being mid-ranged priced, handle great in the rain and dry... all around a GREAT tire- i love them!
in the meantime while you're waiting for more recommendations, i would suggest looking at the customer reviews on tirerack... that's how i settled on the g-force sports, and i don't regret it- you can get ratings and testimonials... good stuff:)
good luck!

I've had good luck with the Dunlop FM901's. They have great dry traction, but wet is ok for my car. With the AWD that your car has it would be much better.
I've heard good things aobut the G-forces, FalkenAzenis RT-615 (http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/findTireProductCategoryDetailBrnd.do?tpc=FALHZA&tp=Passenger%2FPerformance) and Dunlops.
If I have the cash I might try a pair of the RT-615 in 255/40R17. Get a set and let me know how you like them. :mrgreen:

I have used the Azenis RT-615s (http://www.vulcantire.com/azenis_rt615_t.htm) and FK-451s (http://www.vulcantire.com/451_t.htm). While both were good in the rain the FK-451 was better, but the RT-615 was better in the dry.

Ok, I'm one of those lookers that doesn't have any recommendations. Personally, I'm trying to learn about tires myself. My current BFgoodrich Comp T/As suck. My car is all over the place in 1st and 2nd gear, lol. I should compare them to the Firestone Firehawks I have in the basement or the set of Michelins I have on my other set of tires but for some reason I have a feeling they aren't going to be any better....
Eventually, I'm going to have to look into a nice set of sticky tires too....

Michelin Pilot PS2 if you are filthy rich. (Simply amazing tire)
BFG KDW-2 if you have some cash to blow. (Great tire on my dad's SRT4)
BFG G-force Sport if you are broke like me. (Good tire on my dad's Daytona Z)
Personally, I've also used Yokohama Parada spec-2 (great for the money but don't last long), Cooper Zeon ZPT (steering response sucks), Goodyear RSA (hard and slick as ****), BFG Control T/A (good all season tire), and Yokohama db (great all season tire).
Hope that helps.
EDIT: Good choice with the KDW2.
