Can someone recommend some good all-around tires that I should buy for my two in front. Something not too expensive but that will last. Thanks, John

Dunlop SPort A2s. Go to www.tirerack.com Probably get them for near $55 each. Get all 4. Having different tires front/rear will mess up your emergency braking and maneuvering. Different friction coefficients and stiffness and such...

I have Falken Ziex 502 H rated, Around $65 for 205-60 15.

The have directional treads, very good in rain. Good in Dry too. Available at Sears. I have 10000 miles on them, like them a lot. They have a high mileage rating on them so they should last longer the the OEM's (I got 40K on OEM).

Falken (Ohtu Tire, Japan) makes Goodyears for the Japanese Market.

I agree with the others...Dunlop SP sport A2's are awesome. I've had them on my Mystique for about 35000 miles now and in my opinion they perform as well the best all weather performance radials BUT they won't break your wallet to get them. Consumer Reports even gave the tire very high marks. Treadwear is extremely good...the tires still look like new.

Wet performance is great and Snow traction is pretty good too.
