I'm running with stock size (17" rims) Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position. Quiet for a high performance tire. No harshness and tons of grip in warm weather with some loss as temps drop below low 40's. Check reviews on Tirerack.com.

thanks for the suggestion. probably is a nice tire, but for $180/per it should be. Just can't swing that on my budget at the moment. Those are twice the amount of the tires I mentioned. I don't want the cheapest things on the road(safety is important), but almost $200 a tire seems a bit much. Lot of people seem to like the kuhmo ecsta lx platinums, but it rains a lot in pa and wet traction is one of their weaknesses.

The Continental ExtremeContact DWS look interesting. Not much data or reviews available yet. I had ContiExtremeContacts on my previous vehicle and they also handle exceedingly well on dry, wet and Michigan snow (better snow performance than my current Bridgestones). However they were slightly noisier.

Hers's my 2 cents. I have a 2006 Sonata LX V6 with the 225/50r17 MIchelin MXV4 tires and it's time to replace them after 60k miles(still have about 3-4/32nd left). I got really good life out these Michelins and considered going back to them, but can't seem to get over how much they cost. Do I stay with the Michelins or go with something of almost same quailty? Suggestions anyone?
