What are some good tires for my 97?
The thing has Douglas tires on it now, which came with the car when I got it. They are starting to get worn down and I need to replace them in a bit here. Someone told me to put Michelin tires on...any other suggestions and reasons why?

I just got Toyo Proxes and I'm very happy with them.

Love 'em. (didn't do too badly in the snow, either)
Best tire you can get for under $70, IMO.

Kumhos 712 are a good deal, and are above average in grip. Somewhat soft sidewall, but decently quiet.
The BFG g-Force KDW grip like mad, are awesome in wet weather, but don't expet any traction in snow. They are somewhat noisy, but have VERY STIFF sidewalls. They will make your car feel like you've changed the springs/shocks. Steering response will be better and much more direct. I love them myself, but the ride can get harsh. Most of the time, you can feel a change in the grain of the pavement through the steering wheel. They are progressive at the limit. I love them.
I highly recommend the BFG.

How good are those Dunlops in rain? It doesn't snow here, but it does ocassionaly get really wet.
