Bridgestone Potenzas on stock rims, about 38 front/34 rear. (I think spec is 33/29.) They were on the car when I bought it 22,000+ miles ago, and they ride well and are holding up fine. Not crazy about traction in the wet, though, so I might ask around for recommendations when the time comes to buy more.

Summer:
Falken Azenis ST-115 225/45-17 44 front, 40 rear. Winter: Hankook W404 Winter Radials (Studdable, but no studs) 205/55-16 on stock wheels. Could care less what the pressures are. When I check/refill I set them to 35 front 32 rear.

Hancook 245/45/16s on Di's, Nick's and Dave's, and Hancook 225/45/17s on my Claret.
Double A traction, fairly quiet, and OK wear. In the spring/summer/fall but ,,, snow traction is minimal on the 16s, and nonexistant on the 17s

BF Goodrich Traction T/A, 225X50X16, V-rated, 42 PSI in front, forget the rear, but it's whatever makes the loaded radius the same size (I think about 32).
Good ratings at Tire Rack and tread looks pretty good with about 10K miles on them, much quieter than the Fulda tires they replaced, no snow here, but unable to spin them in the rain. |

I'm running all season sumitomo tires. I'm also using 33 PSI in the front and 29 in the back as recommended. Is it bad to go above the recomended PSI ratings?

I use Avid V4's and they stink in wet/snowy conditions
I need to get new tires because they give me very little confidence during rain driving all I do is slide if I brake too hard and there's plenty of tread left.

Hankook Ecsta ASX on the stock wheels and spec pressure. Great reviews on Tire Rack, and I'm satisfied. Great price, too.

Dunlop D60/A2 JLB. I use the factory-recommended pressures on the door frame.
This is my second set. I've been thrilled with them, but Dunlop has, of course, discontinued the tire. I'll probably try something from Sumitomo next. I had Sumitomo HTR-200s on my Justy and they were fantastic tires. They even held up well after a year of autocrossing on them.
