Not in any rush; was looking at General (Gmax?), Yokohama Advan Sport A/S, & Cooper Zeon (RS3?). Looking at Tire Review thread also. Thanks again.
Others on forum have reported up to 45k miles with the 275 Gmax on back of the car, I have Gmax on back and Kumo on front, both grest rain tires but the Kumo has a stiffer sidewall which I like better on front.
I have had a couple pairs of high dollar tires on mine but car was a handful in the rain.
