I had a TL-P with TL-S rims. I put Dunlop SP Sport 5000's on. They were an excellent compromise as the offered great all-season service; they stuck like glue whether wet or dry and were serviceable in light snow. They're $137 each in the stock TL-S size at Tire Rack, when I bought them a year and a half ago they were $188...and worth every penny!

I have Bridgestone Turanza's on mine. I've had Potenza's but they wore too quickly... so I settled for the Turanza LS-H (only up to 130mph, but thats good for me, cause I dont need to go above that anymore!!!) Anyways, I've only had them 2 weeks, and I like them a lot. First wet traction experience tonite, and they stuck really well. I also went 215 instead of stock 205s.

i've had bridgestone potenza RE950s for the last 2 summers and i loved them. they stick like glue on both wet and dry, and they arent too loud. very good tires

btw they were 225/55-16s

they would be horrible for him in chicago. he has to drive in snow and those are a no no in snow! the sumitomo htr+'s and the continental conti extremes are great all season tires. get them from the tirerack
