new tire selection......need some help...
 
i bought some wheels for my car and need at least two tires...

tire size: 205/40-16

tires: Dunlop SP Sport FM901, Kumho ECSTA Supra 712, Yokohama Parada Spec-2

they all cost about the same so thats not an issue. tire wear is also not an issue (it matters to me about as much as gas milage). the things im looking for are grip...lots of it. i have been reading the feedbacks on all of those tires on The Tire Rack and even though some are rated at like 200 treadware people are saying they suck? i realize people are retarded so i guess that means i need to trust the treadware as the stickiest?

any of you guys use these tires on a high HP front wheel drive car???

no one buys my testimonial, but I run proxes 4's, not ts-1, not fz-4.

when everyone else was hitting 2.4 60's in hondas, i was hitting 2.2 60's, plus they do well in the rain and corner nicely from my experience.

i just hate schwab so unless our toyo sponsor for uroc comes thru, ill find another tire of choice.

ditch the 901 for sure.
the perivous made dunlop W-10 is good if you can find them

leaning towards the Dunlop SP Sport FM901, the specs say this is my tire...

not on your list but Yokohama ES100s are the best tires I've used
