    I have used Michelin Pilot Sport's, however, they are history. I cannot find Pilot's in 315's. The only tires avalible are the following:

    1-BF GOODRICH g-Force T/A KD
    2-GOODYEAR Eagle F1 GS-D3
    3-GOODYEAR Eagle F1 Supercar
    4-YOKAHAMMA AVS Sport
    5-DUNLOP SP Sport 8000

    Any prior experience regarding these will be appreciated.

    I have had 2 sets of the Dunlop 8000's (308 and TR) and have been very happy with them. Great wear, low road noise and they look good as well. I don't track my car, so if you do, you may want something w/ a stiffer sidewall. Jerry.

    DITTO THAT. I just put Dunlop SP Sport 8000 tires on my TR and they are great after about 1600 miles. Of course, that is comparing them to the original tires (Bridgestone Potenza RE-71), which were quite hard (7-8 years old) and the fronts were bald.

    I too have gone through two sets of SP8000s and was very happy with them. First set was on my VW Corrado and the other was on my Audi A4. Had good luck with both sets. Traction and tire wear were both acceptable (got about 25K out of both sets). Just bought new tires for the Audi, and deliberated long and hard about another set. In the end I opted to try out a set of Falken Azenis ST115s this time due to the significant price difference.
