Default Looking for a good summer tire

Ive been looking around for a decent set of summer tires. I'd like something that can handle the corners really well without the sidewalls flexing. I'llalso be doing drag races in the summer so i'll need something that can grip fairly well. So basically a AuotX/Drag hyrbid tire i guess haha. The two I've been mainly looking at have been the Yokohama YK520's and the BF goodrichg-force sport. Any reccomendations/suggestions?

www.TireRack.com

^ best website i've ever dealt with. Look around there, most tires have quite a few reviews about them i think.

Thats where I came up with my two choices. I was just looking for some second opinions.

toyo proxes.... w/ out a doubt....they were the first set of tires i put on my 00 si, then after they wore out i put some kind of goodyear on.....but later when i had the money to get some more, the change in grip and cornering was surprising to say the least....

if you have the money get the toyo proxes..
