Yoko Avid H4s forever. Have them on my 18s and they come with a 60k treadwear warranty. Im waiting until my 16" Michelins wear out so I can replace them with Avids. Jon.

JMS > just do MAD amounts of peelouts, rotate the tires and continue... My Kumho Ecstas are at about 60% (CarMax put new ones in when I bought it), but that was before I found out that they were actually good tires... But I always had the assumption that Korean products were no good with the advent of Hyundai/Kia cars and a Samsung phone I had fried out while I could keep any other phone (Nokia/Motorola) trouble-free for several years.

Good you wont regret it one bit. They last for a while if i recall correctly the treadwear is 380 which is great, and as i said they almost never hydroplane and they got a real good work out today in our major snow storm of almost 1 foot.

Good call on the G009's. I put them on my Lara mid summer. They are a bit louder than the Michelin MXV4+'s that I got the car with but they are a luxury touring tire. The dry grip on the G009's are amazing for an all season tire. Wet traction is great too. I've only hydroed while going 60 through puddles of like 2". Im not too impressed with the snow traction though. Makes for a pretty slow start, especially in slush. Think I might be investing in some Blizzaks.

No matter what you decide check on tirerack.com and read through their test results. Ignore the customer input cause how many different tires does that average person go through on one vehicle?
