I have used all three brands of tires in the 195-55-15, 205-50-15 and 205-55-15 size. Here's what I have found:
Yokohama ES100's last about 15K miles with gentle driving, never use these in snow and look good on stock SPG wheels.
Falken ZX-512 all season last about 35k miles with gentle driving, tread compound seems odd (rubber turns brown) and look good on SPG wheels.
Nitto 450 last about 45k miles, cool looking tread design, appear to be slightly wider than other brands same size tire....205-50-15 on SPG wheels seem like a little too much tire for the rim.
Pirelli had a bargain basement performance tire that I used to buy every year for about $55 until they were discontinued....I bought as many as I could while supplies lasted. Great tire, performance and 50K+ life.
