Tire choice

Ok, I plan on getting new wheels/tires in the near future.

I dont need super grippy tires that will wear out quickly. Just a good all around tire. I live in florida so NO snow and mostly hot, sticky road surfaces(if that helps lol). Ive done some research, I just want some outside opinions.

In general, what are most people running on aftermarket wheels?

I run Falkens cause they're cheap and are decent performance wise.
If u want summer tires look at Yoko S Drive or Dunlop Direzza Star Spec.

I ordered Conti Pro Contact tires mounted on Enkei RPF1wheels from Tire Rack... The tires aren't the greatest on worn, slick pavement but are holding up well, quiet, comfortable and do well otherwise... The wheels are amazingly light and have been a wonderful improvement to my car.... The tires aren't made in the stock size for a GE that I know of... If I didn't live in a rural area I would probably gotten a tire with softer tread compound and more grip.
