Tire Help Please

Ok so one of my tires is really bad! I dont have enough to buy all 4 so i'm going to buy 2 new one for the front and put th old one on the rear. The old one aren't bad just one has a small leak on the side and its cracked like crazy but anyways. Ok here are my options one of my friends is can get me Falken Zeix ZE-912 215\40\18 for 118 each or my other friend works at yokohama said he can get me 50 to 100 off. My question is should i get the Falkens or Yokohamas or other suggestions? Also i live in houston so i need an all season tire cause it rains here alot.

Thanks for the help

anyone help please

i have a set of yokohama s-drives on my car right now. i love the way they look but i have noticed that the tread has been wearing down a lot faster than other tires i have owned in the past. if you want yokohamas id suggest looking for yokohama avids. they dont have an aggressive tread pattern and they are very quiet when you ride.

Nitto NeoGens, they're great for traction and not too bad on price.

We put them on my son's SS/SC in November. They have held up quite well and I am impressed with the ride and handling......I will be purchasing them for my SS/SC (and they are made in America).
