Firestone Firehawk SZ50 EP. The EP is there new design and impressively exceeds the previous Firehawk SZ50. This tire is also a little pricey but it shines in all departments including wear, noise and overall road comfort and man do they stick in the wet.

I'm a diehard BFG person so it was a strectch for me to try the firehawks. I only did because it is my wifes car and I was looking for a tire that would be a liitle more comfortable for her. Was I ever pleased at their performance level. Dry the BFG's are slightly better but these have the BFG's in the wet. The car rides Cadillac in straight lines and firms up nicely when twitched side to side.

Kumho Escta 712's is my choice. Super great dry grip, good wet traction, and the tread design looks bad ***. Also they are very very cheap.
