I need to buy a set of tires. I want to stay with 205/50 R16.
I can buy here:
Nokian Z
Michelin PILOT SPORT
GT Radial Champiro 50
Dunlop SP Sport 9000
Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3
all tires are about the same price - 100-120 bucks for 1 tire.
What should I get?

You might wanna check out the ones I just got, the Cooper Zeon ZPT's, they seem to be very nice and are MUCH cheaper.

There are not many Cooper tires here. And 205/50R16 is a rare size here.
The most common tires in this size are Dunlop SP9000, Goodyear Eagle F1, Nokian Z.
I heard SP9000 is good.

I have 205/50 R16 now and have no problems with it. I would like to choose 45 profile but it's too dangerous here, roads are crap and it's easier to damage the rim.

I can't find Micheline Pilot Sport now.
I have 2 options:
- Good Year Eagle F1
- Dunlop SP 9000
I've heard that Eagle F1 is very good in rain, but I've also heard that it's soft and do not last long and when it has less than 50% thread it loose handling and traction (aquaplaning) in the rain.
I haven't heard much about SP 9000.
