New brake pads!!

hi everyone I just got out of the dealer and they told me that I need new front break pads. The stock one are about $100 but taking some advantage of this situation I want some better break pads including front and back. where can I buy ones that outperform the stok ones so I can get a better break performance? What do you recomend?

Where can I get them? What do you think about HANKOOK RADIAL K106 TIRES 205/55R-16 91V are they better than stock? It looks as a good deal on ebay

What is the car used for? Do you have a set of winter tires and a set of summer tires? Or do these need to be an all season?

$114 for the brakes from tirerack..What is your tire size?

Well I use my car as a daily driving, but I use to push the car to its limits by fast driving a lot. Also I take it to the road traveling about 520miles around 2 times a month. some time i drive at a speeds of 100 to 110m/h so that it is why I am also considering the HPF suspension. The weather arround here is mostly sunny and windi, we get about 2 or 4 months of rain and no snow. So acording to all these do you think that the hakook k106 are good or not. and I'vr got the stock weels
