I'm debating between 3 different tires to replace the stock RSA's:
Toyo Proxes 4----$355.60
BF Goodrich g-Force Sport----$271.78
Falken Azenis St115----$296.00
I plan on keeping the stock size (205/55/16) and I have winter tires as well. These prices are the best I've found so far and the prices are for 4 w/shipping. I have a poll going on my cardomain site if you want to vote there, it's in my profile. I'll take suggestions as well and if you know of a company that has them cheaper too. I'd like the treadware rating to stay over 300, that's my only major request. Thanks for all the input.
I've used:

falken Ziex tires are so much better than the azenis. cheaper, hook better, and are MUCH better in the rain. they are a unidirectional tire, and are supremely awesome. They will be my next tire after my current tires are worn out.
I was a retard, and now I'm permanently banned.
Go to tirerack.com and read the reviews of those tires.

The only negative I've consistantly heard about the Ziex tires is that they wear real quick. Quicker than they should. That's the only thing. Otherwise I think they are less money than the Azenis. Thanks for the input. If anyone else has heard of those wearing out really fast, or not at all, let me know.

Also, tirerack only offers the BFGoodrich tires, so I can't read reviews of the Toyo's or Falken's.
Why to Civic children think they can beat a motorcycle?!?!
Tire prices changed............ The BFgoodrichs are now $296 total to my door. Damn it!.
The Falken tires wear out quicker because they are a softer compound. The tread lif on them is around 30000 miles. Not worth the money. I just got new tires on my car. I did weeks of research. When it all came down to it, I got a set of Arizonian Silver Edition. I paid $417 for a set and that included mounting and tread lifetime warrenty. I also get free rotations and balancing. The tires have a 70000 mile tread life. Speed rated at 118mph. Plenty fast for our cavaliers unless you are doing drag races and have by passed all the limiters. I don't know where you are located, but if you have a Discount Tire dealer near you, you might want to check them out. They look good, too.

Almost forgot, the Arizonian has a 560 treadwear versus the 360 on the B.F. Goodrich. If you don't want to keep buying tires every year, you might want to go with a higher treadwear rating.

By wearing out quick, I mean between 10k and 15k in miles for the falken 512's. I know the lower the tread ware rating, the faster they wear, but they sould make it more than one season.

I def have my 512's for much ,much longer than that and thier fine. And i drive them hard. I also drag with them. As long as you rotate them and have a proper alignement they should be just like any other tire.
It's always possible that my friends with the 512's possibly had a bad batch. This is why I'm looking for more input. I would have thought that the Azenis would be better as a summer tire than the Ziex. Both had the same UTQG ratings, but the Ziex are all-season and the Azenis are summer tires. I see that there seems to be a lot of people who swear by the Ziex, so unless I can get a deal on Toyo's that's probably what'll get for next season. Thanks again.
