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

Yokohama Parada Spec-2 (Ultra High Performance Summer)
+Very good grip on dry compared to my pervious yoko's AVE ES100
+Excellent grip on wet surface
-possibly the worst grip ever when it gets colder out/snow/ice (i know its summer tire but still)
- Little noisy (doesnt bother me)
+Coolest tread pattern out there
+Holds well in corners (just well tho)
+Wayyy more comfortable than AVE ES100 (same size sidewall too)
Dont know about tread wear since i had them for less than 2 months
