well the last summer tyres i bought were BFGoodridge profilers which were about 70 euros a piece i bought them solely n recomendation and have been very happy with thm as they are quite a firm rubber when cold but reasonably soft when hot but not exessivly so so wear isnt too much of an issue (for reference when i had the falkens on all 4 were bald in ~5000 km but the bfg`s have around 9.000 kms on them and arnt even half worn which is quite an achivement with the abuse i give them)

here are the bfg`s. as you can see the tread formation is fairly open without loosing any support within the tread as the tread blocks are large. you can also see how agressive they are towards any water on the road (even more so than the falkens which are advertised as anti aqua-planing, yeah right) the problem with the BFG`s is tha they tend to be slightly wider than statedf so my 195mm wide tyres are in reality about 200-205 which makes them look very chunky and can cause rubbing problems, please also note that the tread of the tyre is slightly rounded as it meats the sidewall (from the factory my driving simply helped

) this is so that there is less chance of the tyre "feeding" under the rim on corners which can cause blowouts and/or tyres poping off. the shown size is 195/50/15 btw
for a little comparison here is a pic of my winter tyres

as you can see this is a snow tyre, you can tell by the very open tread and small blocks they are the michlin alpin in 165 65 13 and not really suited to spirited driing as the rubber is quite soft at low temps (<0oC) meaning that at higher temps the rubber can become unstable and make the handleing unpredictable please also not the brownish markings on the sidewall, these ade marks from whre ,under cornering, the sidewall has feen forced under the tyre (on the otherside the wheel trim has touched so it looks a little scabby) this is caused by the higher profile of the tyre and the fact that the sidewall is a lot thinner than on the bfg`s
