I burned off my the front pair off pretty quick, for a few reasons. The wet weather handling is terrible so I've abused them with the intetions of replacing them. I am about to purchase two new tires. I am looking at the following: Falken Ziex ZE 512, Fuzion Hri, Bridgestone Potenza G009, and the Yokohama AVID H4S. All being H-rated b/c I want to have a full set of H-rated tires so I can get my ECM re-flashed for the 125 mph top speed. The things that will factor into the final decision among these tires will be price, availability, tread desigin and treadwear/mileage ratings.

ps I would really love to get a set of the 16" factory wheels at a later date.

Falkons are a great choice, I had them on my vibe,which by the way came with continentals,which were also the worst tires I ever had.

I also have the 15" aluminum wheels, but I really like the look of the 16's. If my 15's had the design of the 16's I would be a lot happier.

OK, so I went with the Dayton Daytona HR's. They have a directional pattern more like a Potenza G009 with the benefits of Bridgestone/Firestone technology and I got a great deal on them.
