Question Advan Neova AD07 or Michelin Pilot Sports-II or Bridgestone G-Grid-III?

I will be buying a set of tires in the coming week, 235/40ZR18. I am now confused of what tires to get. Could any of you assist? I live in a tropical country (malaysia) Thanks.

I second the Advan Neova. I think I read somewhere, maybe in Modified, that the US market will be getting them. Can anybody confirm?

Thanks for the opinion. I am very confused over these tires now. I've tried the Advans on other cars and it glues to the road. The only setback i have on this tires are its because its noisy, rubber burns faster on tropicalised country and its slightly on a rougher ride. The Michelin gives a softer ride, just as good road grip as the advan, and its not as noisy as the Advan, not to mention the thread is much thicker.

sigh.... i'm in dilemma..

yo , am using Neova AD-07's on my Evo 6 now.. no problems with noise and dry and wet traction is excellent. The Bridgestone sadly looks like it has a poorer pattern than the outgoing RE711's. Michelin's, they seem to have gone to a non directional tires with a non asymmetric footprint... Neova's all the way mate!!
