I have to get some new tires for the VX and I was looking for the best advice on which ones. here's my driving habits:

Aggressive...want cornering and acceleration. Not into off roading with it, (yet) and like higher speeds. Keeping the stock 16 inch rims.

Any good suggestions from the community?

Toyo Proxes S/T Tires, you saw them at the meet and drove my VX. They make them in a 16 inch. Mine are on aftermarket 18, in a 255/55/18... I drive my SC VX hard, and they have been great!

I'm switching from the Pirelli Scorpion Zero's (great and sticky but hard to find and expensive) to Kumho ECSTA STX which appears to be very similar in quality, is V rated, and around a $100ea. They come in following 16" sizes but realize all 16" tires are going to have a relatively tall sidewall which is NOT conducive to fast cornering.
