falken azenis sports are the best handling street tire i've ever used, i have them on my current car and i love them to death, when i get my 8 i'm gonna pull the crappy bridgestones and put azenis sports on, somebody did a test with a prototype 8 and put azenis's on them and it got something in the ballpark 1.08g on the skidpad, but it looks like i'd have to have an 17 inch rim for that though

I've heard good things about these, and they are quite a bargain. I have heard they come in an 18" flavor too though...

they don't come in 18's yet, they are supposedly going to come in 18's in the not so distant future, but i have nothing to back this up with other than that's what i've been told unofficially
