The better question is what are you looking for out of a tire? Everyone buys tires for different reasons and different applications. The best handling tire for the car is the S02 that came on the car.
If I can help let me know.

Looking for something that deals with rain a little better. I can't afford having my car crash in one of these nice Florida down pours.

Second a little better tire wear.


Third, maybe a little price difference.

I think I may go with the Toyo Proxes 4 because I can get them at around $375 for 4 mounted.

Only problem is I am going to have to get them in either 245/50 16 or 225/50 16 for rears.

But since I dont do anything with the car other than drive around the city, it shouldnt be much of a problem.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
