Was under the assumption Mobil 1 is the recommended oil brand, not tires.

Starter, it appears your sense of humour has yet to be understood by everyone on this forum. I, on the other hand, get ya.
To answer the question, I went with Goodyear F1 Asymetrical A/S. Quiet, decent wear, good grip in dry and wet and middle price range. And, oh yeah, Mobil 1 0W40.

You, Sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

An inexpensive tire for a car that I was getting ready to sell was Achilles ATR Sport. I didn't personally put a lot of miles on them, but they looked good driving away.

My 98 will arrive with Fuzion Touring tires in the OEM 16 inch size. My usual practice is to change tires when acquiring a "new" vehicle, on the theory that I don't know where the tires have been or what's been plugged, and how well. .
Does anyone have any experience with these? I think they are the economy brand of one of the majors.
This will be a once a week commuter car, 90 miles each way and hopefully some empty highway with some driving in the country. My preference is always Goodyear, if anyone has any suggestions. I'd like some winter rating also.
thanks
