Tires have come a long way since our cars were built. I just put Michelin Super Sports on mine for the 2nd time (different design available this time, higher sidewall). I tried Goodyear Eagles in between, ummmm...no! ...won't do that again. Mine originally came with Continentals (I bought it used in '04), they rode rough, but again, those were from an older style and were worn. My indy says he has no issues recommending Yokohamas for daily drivers and his clients say they ride nice. It depends on your use for it and how you drive...your location says Scranton, is that Scranton PA? I grew up across the state on the NY border. I like to go fast as often as possible and the Michelin's provide that performance. I would of tried the AS 3+, but there was a minimum 12 week out on them, but being in a multi climate area, the AS 3+ may work well for you year round?

look at the sidewall and tell us the tire size. Im 99% sure its 225/60r16. I got Pirelli Cinturato P7 All season plus and they're pretty good.
