1: It is entirely possible that the seasons vary from state to state.2: Chances are, my car and probably several others, with the exact same car, are set-up differently. Partly due to road conditions, weather changes and personal preference. Which leads me to...3: Chances are, I drive different from you. Therefore my expectations would be different from similar to same products.

here si a better question, what are you wanting to do with the tires? if you like to occasionally autocross but not have reace specific tires, the falken azenis 615 is a great choice, if you like to drag race than a drag radial would be better suited, if you want somethign that offers decent traction in the rain then then an all weather tires is what you'll be looking for, just depends on what you want the tire to do

Here are the tires I have run, and how I rate them compared to each other. Note: this is in terms of dry grip/performance only. I dont care about wet performance and my car gets stored during snow.

1.Falken RT-6152.Khumo MX3.Toyo Proxes T1S4.Yokohama Parada Spec 25.Federal 5956.Khumo 711
