Tires...Tires...Tires?

I think any modern, short wall tire will help in braking, handling, be more useful in varying weather and road conditions, wear better and in a lot of cases cost less. Now this means you need to move to 17" and up wheels, give up some ride comfort, and is some folks cases loose the original or that fat tire look. So it really depends on what you want out of your tires, your driving style and the "vision" you have for your car. I don't think you need high end Michelin's to get there but I hear their Pilot series is good.
