Back on topic....

I'll be running st115s very soon. I've never tried them before, but i've heard nothing but good things. Federal 555s (or something like that) are good drift tires though. The hold up forever and smoke really good. ES100s suck. They chunk like nobodies business. Pirelli P 6000s are OK, but they kinda chunk after a while too.
Road noise sucks when you have no interior and you drive around daily in the car, including visits to parents' house 60 miles away and back often.

For that reason alone, I haven't tried the Dunlop FM901s.

The Falken ST115 is supposed to be virtually silent, so that's a good thing.

Also, there are a few people saying good things about Hankook H405 HRii tires, which I currently have in the rear. They grip pretty awesome so far, and I've put about 3000 miles on them so far, with 1 night of street drifting on them, and a few runs at the 1/4 mile track, and there has been virtually no wear on them, so... And did I mention they're cheap? $48 a tire for 205/50/15 from Tires.com, and free shipping...
