What tires should I purchase? Looking for All-Season tires with better performance and handling. Have Goodyear RSA on it now. They suck is an understatement. Have looked into Pirelli, Dunlop, Michelin. Need Advice. Greatly Appreciated.

Anything made by Michelin will be good and they usually ride very nice, the offer everything from economy to sport to extreem performance tires. They aint the cheapest bust certaily some of the best. If the track numbers don't bear that out I will argue that after having worked in a tire shop for most of my college years that I have seen it all (well it feels that way). When cars came in for rotations I often checked the balance, the Michelin tires usually had less runout and took less weight to balance, a mark of quality. Pirelli is also awsome, and Dunlop is no slouch. Do some research and ask waht people have. I am running Yokahama right now and they are not bad, handling is good but they "slap" on broken pavement.

I just got Pirelli P6000 Sport Veloce all seasons installed on my 96 SE. They are great! I was also considering the Michelin XGT V4. I can't compare them to any of the other tires like Dunlop or Michelin, but I can definatly say that these tires handle better in the wet than the stock Toyo's did in the dry.

I paid $140/tire Canadian installed and balanced

Rambo,
I would recommend Kuohmo Ecsta 712 tires from tire rack. It is a great all season tire. Check out the reviews on the tire rack site. I think it is about $72/ea.
