Need help choosing new tires
So my stock tires (Bridgestone Turanzas) have almost 20k and Im thinking of replacing them soon.
I currently have Five Axis S5F rims (18 X 8.5 +30 offset) so is there a certain tire that would be the "best fit"?
Im a complete noob when it comes to tires so I would appreciate any feedback

Michelin ASPlus if you wanna spend the coin. They have an 45k warranty on them. Or get the Hankook V12's. Just my $0.02.

I've got the Hancook Ventus V12's. Read reviews on our vendor Tire Rack. They perform well and for the money you can't beat them.

Michelin PS3 Summer Tires could be an option as well.

Hmm I was looking at the Hancook V12's but they dont have a warranty?
I forgot to mention that I live in sunny south Florida so I dont need any all season tire.
I couldnt find the Faulken 452's on tire rack but what would be the best bang for the buck (with warranty) and be just as good (or better) than my stock Turanzas?

^^ He's in Florida, so the Continental ExtremeContact DW might be a better option.

My preferences are Hankook Ventus V12's and T1R's. Both good values.
