what tires to buy?
I'm just wondering what you all recommend for tires. I have purchased some 2001 CL-P rims off of scoob5555, waiting to be shipped =) The stock tires for these are 205/60/16 V rated. Now I am basically looking for a good all season tire that provides good traction in dry/wet/snow of course. Good snow traction is a must because I live in Alberta, Canada and we have snow at least 5-6 months of the year. I have been reading about Turanza LSV/LSH tire, seems to have good traction in dry/wet, some say the snow traction is not that great even though ratings are high for it on tirerack. What other tires in the 205/60/16 are good? can I use a different tire width? would it be ok to use a H rated tire? Thanks!

How do these tires do in rain and snow? I am more concerned with snow though. I get 5-6 months of that a year!
Also I drive a good 50k km a year or 31k miles a year.

I have a 96 3.2. First set of replacement tires I went with the Michelin tires that were OE - damn expensive. Second set I went with Dunlop Sport SPA2 - I dropped down one speed rating from OE. Consumer Reports had them highly rated. MUCH less expensive & I really like them in all weather. I would definitely buy these again.

But once you try those expensive performance tires and you go back to the cheaper ones it's not the same.
