i am about to replace the original p205/60r15 firestone firehawk tires on my 95se. the car only has 60000km but the rubber is getting quite worn. i would like to know what people have used and what is recommended. i am looking for a tire that will work well in wet weather as well dry.

If you want straight performance get Bridgestone RE730's, but if you want all season get Michelin XGTH4's or Dunlop D60's.

I got the Michelin XGT H4's put on my 2000 SE the first day i had the car. A bit pricey (about $120 a piece), but it's a great tire. Living in NE, however, i just bought a set of Blizzaks for winter use.

I replaced my Firestones with Michelin Energy MXV4's last year after the first snow storm in my area, and it was definitely worth the money. They were about $99 each and gave an immediate improvement the next time it snowed. My stock tires had 32,000 miles on them.
