I got BFGoodrich Traction T/A in 235/45/17 and so far im very happy. Road noise is better than the Yokohama AVS ES100s I had before, and traction is excellent for an H rated tire. 60,000 mile warranty too...

I have Falken ZEIX 512s, not the best out there, but I like em and they're cheap... Toyo Proxes come highly recommended too....

I disagree with anyone who mentioned any of the second tier brands, except the Toyos. Most will be on the opposite end of the performance spectrum, really biased towards comfort, squirmy and lacking turn in sharpness and cornering stability. So if you are looking into an all season tire, the Proxes 4 are a great value followed by the LS-Vs. The Pilot Sport A/S are as good as these other choices but they are too pricey considering you can get similar performance out of the Proxes 4 or the LS-Vs (and less noise). If you're looking for summer tires, get the S-03s, but be warned that the ride will be very harsh (but very rewarding in winding roads

Anyway, if I were you, I'd jump all over the S-03s at that price if they are new (BlackBirdVQ will disagree with me on this one, but those are $200 tires, not $145) but make sure you have a set of snow tires or another winter car.

after reading several reviews i decided to go with the bridgestone turanza LS-V tire
i like it a lot so far, it hugs corners good, has good traction, and its smooth on the highway
i got it for $688 from blatt after tax and all the mounting and service junk
plus im getting a $100 rebate from bridgestone
if you act fast you might be able to get them to predate a receipt for you, you need somthing prior to may 8th for the rebate
