Yokohama or BF Goodrich???

Okay, sorry for the redundant tire questions...
I have a choice of Yokohama Avid S/T, and BF Goodrich Radial T/A's. Which would you all buy if you had to choose?

The size tire I'm looking for are 245/60R15

the yokohamas look like they have a better tread pattern. if I were you I'd look into getting some kumho ecsta supra tires. I have those on mine and they are awesome. I got mine installed and everything for $94 per tire.

I've got those yokahamas, except in 16 " form.. i don't like their handling capabilities on dry pavement at all.. but for street racing they're good, and they do handle well in the rain.

Not positive when its over, but isnt BF Goodrich running their special where if you buy 4 tires of a certain ratings you get a free G-Tech. I think its BF doin it and I think it runs to September or later,.....if that would influence your decision any

Oh yeah and I have Radial T/A's on the back of my car (dont ask why I have diff. on front and back) but Im happy with them, nothing totally impressive but still a real nice tire.
