Welcome, especially to another blue slate 6MT. The G is an amazing machine and the 6MT gets you as much out of the car as you can get. An under reported feature of the Sport are the brakes, which will get you out of many difficult spots.

I alternate Goodyear F1s with the OEM Bridgestone summer tires. Goodyear's are truly awesome in any rain as good as any all-season out there, but they don't have the smooth and sure handling of the Bridgestones in the tightest quick maneuvers.

Happy driving!
