Kumho Ecsta SPT's-- Reasonably priced, good handling wet or dry, and quite. Check Tire Racks tests and you see that they fare well. I'm on my second set of rears ( fronts were good ) and got about 15K miles on the rear with fairly aggressive driving

My Box came with Dunlop 9090s. The right rear was bald at 20k miles/4 yrs, and I just replaced both rears. The fronts show little wear to the naked eye.

I've been satisfied with them in wet and dry, but I don't track the car. Don't drive like a blue haired lady either.

Oddly, the dealer (Leith in Cary, NC) beat Tire Rack prices. But TR is still the place to do research as several folks noted.

Amfibius,

+ 1 on the Kumho’s. I put a set on the Mercedes last year and have been very pleased so far…
