See this link for all the tires I have available. I wouyld do 215/45/17 or 205/45/17. There is much positive feedback on Bridgestone S-03, and Yokohama AVS ES100 for use on OE s lites.

Alex - I'm at the point where I have to get new tires (the Perilli's are polished). What can of milage can I expect out of the Yoko ES 100?

20-25k on well rotated street duty. Ofcourse the more aggresivly they are driven ,or the less they are rotated, the less they will last.

Alex - this is my daily driver (about 100 miles per day) thus the reason that I have over 30,000 miles on my year old car.
Is there any way that I can "have it all"? Good handling, nice ride and good milage?
Putting $500.00 to $900.00 a year into tires can take a big bite out of the budget.

The balance is milage vs handeling chartersitics. Unfortunatly on this topic, you can't have both. The closest balance would be RE 950 And it has a cool tread pattern to boot.
Use H rated for comfort, and W rated for best handeling. 45k prorated treadwear warranty, and Unity AQII !
