+1 for the fuzions, Kumho Ectsas are good. are you looking at an all season tire or just summer?
I'm not sure if they make em in our stock size, but ask about the Continental Conti-Extremes, they are a good all season tire.
And for just the summer, two of the best for grippiness are the BFG G-Force, and Pilot-AS.

It depends on your driving style? I use Cooper Zeon 2XS and they are excellent for wet and dry, and they look good to :thumbsup:

For those that say that their tires suck in the snow.... DUH!. I mean come on unless you buy snow tires almost any tire will suck in the snow.

^ true, but this is why we are giving him this advice. If he's looking for all-season tires, don't get Fuzions. If you don't get much snow (if any at all), or are confident in your snow driving capability, by all means, go for it! :thumbsup:
