I have been approached about selling my RS wheels and tires and I need to choose some new rubber for the new rims

which ones?
The Goodyear Eagle GT's

The Hankook Ventus V12 EVO K110
http://www.hankooktireusa.com/product/t ... sp?pid=954

The Continental Contisportcontact 3
http://www.conti-online.com/generator/w ... t3_en.html

I am looking at the Hankooks as my top choice but if anybody runs the others I would like to know how they perform

What do you do with 365 used condoms???????
melt them down, turn them into a tire and call it a Goodyear.
Goodyears suck
hankooks have horrible wearing patterns
conti's are good tires
i just bought yokos and they rock
