Tires +

I have a 96 fully loaded SE that I purchased about 3 months ago. I need some new tires for it. Right now I have the 16" wheels that came on the car (Borbet I think). I'm not going to get bigger wheels because I live in the DC area and the potholes/streets are so bad the person in charge should be in jail! Anyway I have been looking at tires online and I'm considering the Kumho Ecsta ASX, Yokahama Avid T4 and Bridgestone Potenza G009. What, if anything, do you guys think about these tires? The size will be 215/55/16.
At the same time I'm going to get new suspension parts (GR2s and H&R springs), STS, shift and e-brake boots and tint.
The car is dark green and had around 122,000 miles on it when we got it. I cannot/will not go crazy on this car because we got it to be reliable transportation. The streets, weather and people in this area do not go well with nice cars IMO. I had an 03 G35 that was taking a beating (I moved here a year ago from Vegas) or at least I thought it was. We sold the car for this reason and got the Max while also losing a car payment! The Max has everything the G35 had except memory seats; climate control, leather seats, sunroof and power everything.
Since cleaning it up it looks pretty good. I just have to get rid of the 4 x 4 look!

I bought these Toyo's (in 235/45WR17 form) for my car...they will be installed in a few days...I heard nothing but good things about them. I got them from National Tire and Bttery for $125 a tire, plus $22 a tire to mount/balance and that includes a road hazard waranty, and lifetime free rotation. They are all season tires, and the reviews on them have been fantastic...
