what brand and style tire are YOU using?, lets compare notes Options

[presure2]

hey all,
looking @ buying a new set of sneakers (tires..lol) for the car, and, im thinking about trying a diffrent tire than what i have been.
I've been using Falken ZIEX 502's then 512's, since i got aftermarket rims..with decent results. for ~89$ a tire, they were ok.
however, once they get some miles on them, they are aweful in the rain. the car hydroplanes all over the place.
and with the extra power of the 5sfte, traction is DEFINETLY an issue, ANY time i get on it in 1st or 2nd.
so, im wondering what all you guys are using for tires, especially you swapped guys!
brand, style, size, list it all!
if you just bought them with the rims, that dont count.
how many miles you get out of a set would be good if you know that as well.
i get about 20-25k out of a set of the falkens.
TIA

Toyo Proxes T1-R 225/35/18

Use it for every day driving. Now driven 3000 km's with it, with 2000 on the swap.

No issues when launching on dry surface
Some wheelspin in first gear in the wet. None in 2nd gear (up to 5500 rpm)

Great tyres. As well in cornering as for the drag. The only downside (from what I heared, not experienced it myself) is the lifetime. People say they are worn out in about 6-7k miles. Because of the soft compound rubber thats used. But that was on MR2 and Supra forums with cars up to 500bhp so....
