The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
I work at America's Tire Co., so I can assume you all know about them. (Discount Tire Co. depending on where you live)
Excellent tires would include BFGs (Euro T/A i love), almost any Michelin, Kuhmos (which are a real bitch to seat on the rim i might add
), and of course Dunlops, but they ain't cheap at all, good years are ok, but unless you run fat drag radials, look elsewhere
Good street tires would be the Yokohama YK420, which are less than 100 per tire and wear damn good. Hell, they even have a 60K warranty from yoko!
Dont waste your money on Pirelli's, they arent as good as they make them out to be. If anyone puts the following on their 3rdGen, well, just dont
:
Futura, Kelly, Cooper, Fisk, Custom, Road Hugger, Potenza
hope i haven't offended anyone, and hey, if you are ever in temecula, CA, e-mail me and i will hook up some tires for ya!

Runnin' PeP boys Futura Ultra Z's. I cut a best of 1.97 with no suspension mods on a 130,000 mile car. I love 'em. 
I will be running MT ET streets at the track this year though. I'll let you know how long my rear end lasts

I had a set of potenzas and some goodyears that i melted off. I can very rarely get these to spin. They are also directional tires. They cost about 600 a set here but i paid 350 because i work in a place that sells them.

I just threw on the KUMHO SUPRA 712s (245/50ZR-16) yesterday.....:rockon: .....let me just say WOW!!! I took an s-turn that goes down hill at the same time @ 65 mph. and I could feel the g's building up, but the car never even left my lane. Maybe one day I'll be close to 1 g with these tires
And they only cost $95/ea.:hail:
Oh yeah, I had 4 people in the car when I did it.

Well those Pilot's got better. After a few smoke shows I was getting consistent 2.11 60' times last week. I think I could have gotten better with a converter, guess I'll find out in a few weeks.
