Good tires for street...

I've noticed that my Pirelli p zeros are garbage. They have 13k miles and have lots of road noise, And to top it off the traction really sucks. I get a pretty bad wobble at higher speeds. I think that maybe the tires have flat spots from being parked, but the car gets moved every weekend. So enough of talking about these cheap tires and what do you guys recommend that would be a good option? I'm running 20" wheels

I'm currently running FALKEN high performance all seasons. I'm also a fan of HANKOOK tires.

Nitto Invos are better the pzeros.

Are you looking for a all season or just a summer tire?

Anyone know (from experience, that is) how the Mickey Thompson Street Comp tires compare to the Nitto NR555 G2's for street use? I'm considering either of the two for when I need new tires.

I had a set of Nitto 555R's on a Mustang I bought and now have set of Nitto Motivo on the '12 Camaro I bought a few months back. I have had problems with the steering wheel shaking in the mid-60's with both sets. I haven't been able to get them balanced to the point of being satisfied with them, despite having a shop do a Road Force Balance that some said would help. At this point I wouldn't recommend Nitto's at all.

You recon its still good? Or should I really replace it as soon as possible? I live in cali so it doesn't rain. I see tons of drivers with almost no threads on their tires.
