Whatever you buy they won't be expensive with 17" wheels, I vote Goodyear.
Bridgestones may have a better wear rating but that's NOT always the
best tire! Tire stores sell tires guaranteed for 60K miles but I wouldn't want
them on my car....think wet streets and hard rubber! Ouch!!

Go to Tire Rack or Discount Tire to read reviews and look at survey data. Also, consider going to a the larger 225/55/17 or the 215/60/17's ... more comfortable ride, improves mpg slightly (5-10 miles per tank) and it covers much of the ugly wheel well gap. As of 3 weeks ago, I went to this size with Falken 912's (<$100 apiece with excellent reviews). Most guys like to lower their cars (perhaps a drastically overrated and impractical mod in the East Coast????) and get wider tires... I prefer to get a taller tire in the 225 or 235 range, which raises the car about .5 to .75 inches and still covers the well well gap.
