If you are looking at All-Season tires for the OEM 19"s then I would suggest Michelin Pilot A/S. Get ready to open the wallett.

Do you have aftermarket wheels? I don't think you can put a 295 on the OEM rear wheel. I've seen a 275/35 fit, but never a 295.

I will agree with the BF-G Force, as ugly as the tread is they perform well.

I have to agree....I really liked the orginal bridgestones on the car..I definitley put the car through through it's pace's and was happy with performance and noise, until I ran the rear's down to slicks! I upgraded to the pole positions and am very happy with them..but this is the first nice handling car I have owned, so I have nothing to compare it to...the only time I drive hard, is on dry pavement...

A cheaper option is the Avon M550. Had a set of those on the stock 18's in oem sizing, and they performed pretty well.

I don't know how long you had them, but they are so noisy I have to raise the volume of my radio at LOW speeds. Sounds like I am riding on gravel...granted I did not notice this until I had accrued a few thousand miles on them, but they are not getting any better.
I don't find the wear especially bad, and they handle 'decent' for the price. Good grip even not the most responsive tire.
There has to be better alternatives for the price.
My mechanic is designated TR installer, said he had a couple of similar complaints from other owners.

They got good reviews on TR initially, because they were 'new'. Ratings really dropped after the miles piled on.
I have low miles on my car, it's not a daily driver, if it was I would have changed them out by now.

I've had michelin pilot sports on my fronts for quite a while, probably close to 10k, and they are holding strong with plenty of tread left
