looking at replacement tires... got a couple questions
I am currently running on the OEM Michelin's still. I am looking at all-season tires.
Has anyone tried the Dunlop SP Sport Signatures and/or the General Altima HP tires?
Those are two of the tires that I am currently considering. The General one is a 91H tire and the OEM is a 93V. I am not terribly concerned with the speed rating, but is the load rating an issue?

I swapped my OEMs for a set of Continental Exclaim UHP and am very happy with them. The are much quieter, handle better, and feel more comfortable. They are a summer tire but get very good wet handling scores. Only in the snow are the ratings subpar, although you won't see any snow in LA unless you go up into the mountains. The only negative is that they are giving me on the average around 2-3 mpg less than I was getting on the OEMs. I used to get 33 to 34 mpg on the highway and I'm getting around 29-30 now. This may have something to do with the cold weather or winter blend gas, I won't know for sure until I spend an entire year on them.

There are a couple of ppl who bought the General 91H's, but not many... perhaps for a reason.
Tire-rack and many other places highly suggest the Michelin Primacy MXV4 and Bridgestone Turanza Serenity, but I'm still evaluating whether or not they are really worth the extra cost.
jlukja, thanks for the review. Although I do live in LA, the reason that I'm looking into all-seasons is because I do go into the mountains during the snowboard (winter) season.

Yes I know that, most of my primary research was done on tirerack's site. They of course suggest tires with the 93V rating, but I wanted to see if some other ppl on here had more extensive experiences with those specific tires.
