I think the general consensus would be Yoko A008's.. most people will recommend them. I love em.. good grip wet and dry.

I run A032, one steep up from the Yoko A008.
On the race car i have run A048 (13" wheel). these are new tyre from yoko, the A032 will be discontinued soon so i am told.

Yea, but how many K's do you get from them? He wanted something at a realatively good price..a $200 semi race tire that wont last long isn't that feasible for road use..

for 10"
yokohama a008's are the best choice if you like to drive fast
falken's are ok and harder to get now

bridgestone sf-226 are cheap and comparable to the falkens.. they're your best bet if you do a lot of k's or don't push your car to the limit often, something like $60-75..
i used to get them for 60 bucks a tyre fitted etc, so shop around.

Definitely Yoko A008's - about $100 each.
