What size are you looking at? That makes a big difference.

Here is my standard rhetoric on buying tires: GO to tirerack.com, price the tire, then go to Sears. They will match the price, with no waiting for the tire to ship. A good no-frills All-season tire in 15" or 16" is the Dunlop SP Sport A2. Or, in a 16" size, the Sumitomo HTR+ is available, and is a little bit cheaper.

If you have the stock 15" or 16" wheels, then go for the Dunlop SP5000, Dunlop Sport A2, or if available, the Yokohama AVID AVS db. They are all great tires. You will not go wrong with any of them.

Potenza = Blowtenza

The dunlops & yokos are good... sumitomo are good for the money
