Kdw's were rated the best for all seasons. Both for summer tires and for winter...they are amazing. Only downside is theyre a little loud

Hankook Ventus V12 are great.

on tirerack.com, the BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2 state ultra high performance summer, but when you say loud like loud enough you wouldnt use them again?

My summers are Bridegstone Potenza RE760 Sport. I dont have any complaints
Do you just want a summer tire? Do you drive a lot? (rain factor), or putting in any track time?

just a straight summer tire, might be tracking it but very very very little, so little it doesnt matter .. all i want is a great performing summer tire.. i have my stock wheels and winter tires for winter season.. i was between pirellis and the bf goodrich g-force, but for the price, g-force sounds good what do you think?

I'm throwing on a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports this year.
Apparently near cup sport performance in the dry and very good wet grip.

jeebus that's an expensive tire.
Friend of mine who runs speedsportlife.com suggested I get the kdw-2 also

Dunlop Direzza Zr1 Star Specs. By far the best summer tires I've ever had. Not cheap, but an awesome tire.

I recently installed Michelin Pilot Sport 2's and am really happy with them, especially after a little bit of wear. I'm amazed at how fast I can take corners without any noise at all. I also went from 235's to 245's, so that was part of the improvement. Also, being in NorCal I use these year-round and found these to grip very well in wet, cold conditions. I avoid ice and snow (take the wife's car on ski trips), but wet conditions in the 30's are no problem.
My two cents...

Bridgestone RE-11's. very sticky. I would stick with the 235's but have you considered spacers for a more aggressive stance?
