How good meaning dry grip? They suck.

The 712's are better than the 711... But still the 712 is not as good as the stock Yoko A680 in dry grip.

I suggest you go with Felken Azenis or Cooper Cobra ZHP (I have them as my last set and they were better than stock).

I have Toyo T1-S now and I never thought I pay so much for tires, but I won't ever go for any less now.

Really? I thought the 711's performed the same as the 712's when I tried them. And I know a guy that autocrossed with the 711's that will also tell you that they're better than the 712's. Not saying you're wrong cause it's just personal opinion.

Personally, I'd go with either the Falken Azenis, Bridgestone S-03 or Kumho MX (these just cause I want someone to tell me if they're any damn good!).

The T1-S is VERY comfortable. More comfortable than stock. Lot less road noise. I would say the T1-S is the most comfortable for the MAXIMUM performance tires.

try out the Sumitomo HTR ZII's, they are great tires.

I have 711's and they are good IMO! I dont race or autocross so I dont know if they are good for that, but the ride is nice. I've had them for about 4 months, so I cant give you any long term analysis.
