Ready for this:
I replaced my Goodyear Eagle GS-As on my 99SE with Firestone Firehawk GTA02s. They're great and cost under $80 each at tirerack.com. Better handling, treadlife, and all weather traction than the stock Goodyears. Who knows, maybe they'll blow out on me someday?

Not if you prioritize comfort over performance. That's a performance tire...comfort ratings are low.

Try the following list (I have no actual experience with these but they are all focussed on touring comfort and all-season reliability):

Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus
Pirelli P6000 Sport Veloce
Bridgestone Turanza Revo
