Thanks for the insight, gents.

I can't seem to find the right sizes in Canada for the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. I'm currently running 225/50/17 (F) and 255/40/17 (R) on a set of Dunlop Direzza DZ102 tires that came with the car, and are on its last legs. I may have to dig into the US for some sizing, but the exchange rate is killer right now, and with the lock down at the border due to COVID-19, I don't know when I'll be able to get across the border for tires and a Trader Joe's run. Edit: I should add that I am primarily looking for a solid street tire for some spirited driving, and light track duty, maybe less than 6 times a year. The Michelin Pilot Super Sports (at the time) put a smile on my face every time as it was great for the street, some light track duty, and was comfortable overall.

I liked the Kumho esctas I had way back. My wife put 20k on them daily driving and they did pretty well wet, dry or snow.

I can't say anything about track usage, but for a long life cheapo tire they did exceptionally well.


This car I'm going with the Firehawks. They seem like a good tire on all the cars I see them with figure they are worth a shot.
