Just Curious what tires you all are running on your car?  I just recently had to get new tires last month and I bought some General Exclaim UHP's  245/45/17's....So far so good. The traction is awesome and so is the wet traction, but they are a bit mushy in the handling end of things so maybe my next set of tires I'll get something a little different.

I am using 245 45 17 Goodyear F1 a/s. They have stopped the aqua plaining and I can take a corner 5-10 mph faster. Decent street dry traction. look great.

I have had Goodyear F-1 All Season Tires, On My Car for about a year and a half. They offer great dry, wet and snow and ice traction. They still look like new. I made the best decision for Me.

I just picked up some Federal 595 Tires for $300 shipped from onlinetires.com, then took them to my local tire shop and got them mounted up for $60. So for $360 shipped I have an AWESOME set of tires that are MUCH MUCH better than my General Exclaim UHP's I had for 18k miles...
