What kind of driving do you do? Will the car be driven in the winter? What kind of budget are you looking at?

If you're just looking for some street tires, I've got Falken Zeix 512 all seasons on mine right now. They tolerate athletic driving extremely well from a wear perspective and are able to stick through higher g-loads than I expected from an all season tire. They're comfortable and reasonably quiet. Only thing I don't know yet is how they handle in snow.

well , I only know about the ones I've been running on my '91 T. Goodyear Eagle GT's HR-speed rated to 130mph..... 205/40 17 fr and 215/40 17 rr.. I think they handle well and I've put about 20k miles on them and them seem to be holding up well. but my Spyder needs new rear tires so I'm gonna take those off the turbo and put them on the Spyder. I wanted to go wider on the turbo so I ordered some 235/40 17 . they should be in this week...

^^^that's one hell of an assumption. maybe he just doesn't know crap about tires. i'll be willing to bet that you perhaps don't know as much as you'd like to know about them.

Toyo's be good....RA 1's are a great street/ drive it like you stole it tire but they are an "R" compound so bad weather is a no no.
A great all season H RATED tire is the bridgestone potenza G009...economical and decent for daily driving. Ive got about 9k on a set and they are good all around....Course I shoe up the racerubber for AX or serious curvage carving (KUMHO Victoracers)
