Or ultra high performance tire Toyo T1-S

If you are looking for an all season performance tires, I would recommend the Bridgestone Potenza G009. I bought mine last month for my 15" stock rims. I upgraded the tire size from 185/65 to 195/65. I must say that the Potenza G009 amazed me with the wet traction. I've tried few different all season performance tires in the past & most of them didn't amazed me. I'm not a big fan of an all season tires when it comes to a performance one. In my opinion, I think this is one of the best all season performance tires for its wet traction. Dry traction is also above average for an all season tires. Snow traction is decent.

I got mine for less than $100 a piece from Tire Rack. As far as treadwear, I can't tell yet since I've only put about 1000 miles on it.

Oh by the way, the BF Goodrich KDW 2 is an amazing summer high performance tires. Excellent dry & wet traction. I've had that before on my Prelude. The next best thing I had for my Prelude was the Bridgestone Potenza S-02. Both tires didn't last very long though but then again, I drove my car very hard on the street & on the track. The S-02 lasted a little bit longer than the KDW 2.

^^ I would recommend either the G009 from Bridgestone or the Traction TA from BFGoodrich if you want good all season tires.
