Ill give my vote for the Dunlop sp8000's.
I love these tires.. they last and last and last beating after beating they hold up and keep on sticking. Price is right.
The only thing that I have found that really pissed me off was getting a bad set of the tires from carparts.com (fackers) the set I got have bubbles in the sidewalls because of some flaw in the bead I suppose...and they wouldnt replace them, when they finally did the one they sent me had a bubble too!.. besides that they are a great tire.

all boost.. no buttons..
My Toyo's have been good to me... I have the FZ-4's (the cheaper version of the T1S's). Excellent stick when they are warm, terrible in snow, and a bit slippery in the rain... well, if you have a big rear swaybar anything is slippery http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif
Traction A, Temperature A Treadwear 300.
I''d buy another set (about $25 cheaper per tire than the T1S's.

RE-730's are a very good tire. they hook up very well.

Dunlop SP8000s. Good in the wet. Buy them.

I'm listening and I agree: I also have a set. They have enough grip that I feel like I have more tire than chassis. Plus they work in the snow, too (hey, around here that matters).

Hell yeah they work in the snow! I took my car up snowboarding and with the SP5000s and the type-R LSD I was doing pretty damn good even on ice! I'm glad someone else shares my opinion on the 5000s; ever since I mounted them even with the 22mm rear sway I can't get the car to break loose on dry pavement.

Would I also need a camber kit?
I'm on the Nuespeed Sport Drop right now and 195/55/15 tires are going bald on the inner edges badly.

Yup if the insides are going bald you most likely need a camber kit....just look straight at the front of your car you should be able to see how far the wheels are cambered in at the top...if there not leaning in then you need an alignment

I'm running on the RE-730 right now..They're decent tire for the price I paid. I have a set of Dunlop SP9000 waiting for me.
Funny thing is that I have more inner tire wears with my GSR and stock ITR suspension (about 0.75" drop?). But these tires had at least 60K miles on them already...I think it's just normal that the inner edge will wear out faster than the outer edge.
