I got Michelin A/S Pilots on the 17" chromes for the winter. Good tires, but poor tire life. They will be replaced with Goodyear TripleTred tires this fall.
BFG G-Force KDWS 235-50-18's are on the summer Eagle 077's. Not a bad tire. The price was right.
Tires are my #1 expense! (other than mods)

I use cooper winter tires on 15" steel wheels for the winter. I have Pirelli Pzero Neros for my summer tires. They grip like nothing I have ever used. I cant even spin them when its raining outside. The RSAs I had on my stock wheels would spin from a stop every time and spin like crazy in the rain. Not the pirellis.

The first set of tires that were on the Monte when we bought it were these: Front 2: Yokohama Avid Touring, Driver's Side Rear: Eagle RSA, Pass. Side Rear: Wingred??? Pirelli makes a very good tire, there is no refuting that.

Hmm, thinking I might end up with some all seasons for the summer, all those summer tires said they can't be driving around freezing and there are times when it's 70 one day and 25 the next and I can't be having days where I can't drive my car because of the tires.

If I could have afforded TripleTreds on the Monte I would have in a minute. But at $137/tire I didn't want them THAT badly. )

I ONLY use Goodyear tires when I replace my tires, I'm convinced they saved our lives (my wife and I). On a trip to Florida in my1988 Grand Prix we caught something in the road (never saw anything) going about 85 MPH while passing another car on I-75 near Tampa. The tire just blew, but it held together well enough to get us from the passing lane to the side of the road, with NO damage to the rim or the car. The tire was absolutely shredded by then but it held together. Those were Eagle GT II's.

The Goodyear's might have a slightly higher price tag than other brands, but I truly believe in them. When you're talking maybe 10-20 bucks more per tire, it's worth it.
