I first had a set of 225/45/16 Yokohama A520s on my '91 9KT which had rediculous grip cornering and accelerating. Those were replaced by the AVS ES100 which is also a great tire but wears very quickly if you drive aggressively. Then I tried a set of the Michelin HX??? whatevers, the ones that come on the Aero and they were terrible; worst performance tire ever.
My dad has the Dunlop SP Sport 9000s on his 16" Aeros on his CSE turbo and though they cost an arm and a leg, they are incredible, no ride noise, very comfortable and very capable on tight, twisty roads. My brother has The Kumho Ecsta 711 or 712 on 16" Super Aeros on his '92 9KT and they are pretty good, they just wear way to quickly and get too loud when they do. I now have 215/40/17 Dunlop SP Sport 901s on my '92 9KT and they are the best tire I've ever had. Decent wear characteristics and incredible handling...theres nothing these tires can't handle. So my answer is Dunlop...or the AVS ES 100's. It all comes down to performance.
