Thanks for the help.

Personally I hated the goodyear eagle RSA's that came stock on my SS. I never felt safe going speed limit on the interstate when it was raining. But when I got my 18's I went with Hankook Ventus. These are very similar to the goodyear eagle triple tread but they are ALOT less expensive. Now I have put well over 20k on them and I would certainly buy them again. Handling in wet conditions is just awesome and tread wear is great.

I have pirelli P zero neros. Im not sure if they come in the factory size but they are hands down the best tire Ive ever had on any vehicle. They stick like glue in rain or on dry pavement.

Anything but Fuzion. The absolute worse tire made. They handle ok, not great, and sound like mudgrips going down the road. I mean, such a loud humming it disrupts normal conversation. HORRIBLE!!!

similar.. yes.. but I dont think they have an 80,000 mile rating on them.[8D] I was looking at Them to buy. But thats why I bought the Goodyear triple treads.

So Jeff did you buy tires??? what kind and how are they??

if you are looking for a good all season tire, i would recommend the bf goodrich traction ta. i have been using them for a short while, my brother uses them, and i had also read great reviews about them. great on snow, ice, and rain.pretty good price too around $100/tire depending on size of course. being from mn, i have only used all season tires on my daily drivers. don't know much about summer tires.
