look...you might know more than me about tires.....but you have to know that...the way you were trying to inform me...wasn't quite what I was expecting.
I'll be glad that you help me....but I would prefer you suggesting tires instead of trying to show the world I don't know about good tires.
As for Now...I have one word...PEACE!

Why suggest tires to you? You've got a list of 10 tires that you're interested in. And like I said there are 10+ threads in this forum in the last month on this subject, why repeat myself and what others have said. Do you somehow think that you are asking something special enough to warrant a different response?
The top street tires on the market right now are:
Bridgestone RE-11
Yoko AD08
Nitto NT-05
Kuhmo XS
Dunlop Star Spec
If you pick from that list, you won't be disappointed as far as grip. They will all wear poorly and not be the best in the rain and for damn sure shouldn't be used in the snow. For the most part they will be pricey as well.
And before you post your followup question of "What size should I buy", you should buy in the stock size (245/40/18) unless you're on a 9.5"+ wide wheel, then you should buy 265/35/18 or 275/35/18 if you've rolled the fenders... and noone will be able to guarantee that they won't rub on your car in that case.

thanks man for this post!...I know that these tires don't go in snow...I know the size of my wheel and tires...I know the camber I need to put...I know a lot of things....I just wanted to have advice and suggestion on tires from some people that ride the same car as I do.
You seem to think that I'm dumb.
Anyways...the part where you tell the best street tires on the market is the best answer you could give me.....the rest of your post...well...you could have just keep that for you!

Wow, I haven't had to post this for awhile... c&d link
I personally have the BFGs, and they are loud as hell (the c&d shootout proved that even more...). They have lasted forever though - 15k - 20k, and still tons of tread left. I live in rainy WA and so far no issue. I don't think I'll take my chances when the tread gets lower, though.
I am going to give the Ventus V12 Evo (destiny?) a whirl next, I think. I hear they might be going EOL soon though (if not already). Might pick them up for cheap, though. You won't go wrong with the Z1s, and contrary to what people have said, Z1s and Ventus V12s are pretty damn cheap (so were the BFGs, but I'd stay clear).

I would have to look at the exact model I have but the Yokohama brand has been good to me. Rain (WA state  ), snow, cornering, wear, ....etc...etc... has been a great tire for me so far and still appear brand new. Bought them form tirerack.com, shipped em to my house, and chose a place to install them. I probably spent 300-400 total for just tires and then the installation all together.

i would say a good compromise for you would be the Yokohama Advan AD07 because it is the closest to the stock Advan A046 but not $367 each like tire rack wants (which they have lost their dam mind charging that much for stock tires BTW)
it sounds like u want a "street tire" that can do everything.
in that case u want a tire that has a treadwear between 140 & 200 as a good starting point. Advan AD07's are 180 just like the stock. another option is the Advan Sport. i like yokohamas if u haven't noticed & their manufacturing plants are ZERO emissions which is cool too. i run the discontiuned Advan A032R's but those may be too sticky for you at 60 treadwear. good luck

^nice! Those are sweet tires, and you can still get them for relatively cheap online, when you can find them.

Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Spec isn't bad either with a treadwear of 200
