That's a loaded question.

Depends on your driving style, rim size, style of tire, tolerance to price, wet weather, snow, etc.

Do you want "all out" summer performance?

Do you want "all season" performance?

Do you want high mileage (does not go with # one)

Do you like the "stretched" look?

Do you want more "meat" on the ground?

Do you want a "plush" or "hard" ride.

Do you want "razor sharp" turn in? (not compatible with "plush" ride)

Do you have a Coupe or Sedan?

Aftermarket wheels? Size?

Give us some idea of what you want.

For our rainy climate in WA, I'd recommend these tires, in this order: Michelin PS2, Goodyear F1 GS-D3, Dunlop SP9000, Toyo T1R, Falken FK452, BFG KDW2.

My OEM Potenzas lasted 16000 miles....

I put on a set of Goodyear RS-A all season and loved them. I got over 25000 out of them and they were really good in the rain. They had more grip than my pansy azz could use.
