It's hard to define good tyres, do you want them for dirt roads and bitumen
roads ?? any bridgestone or goodyear tyres can meet your demands, just watch
what size and profile you buy. I run 195/65 x 14 Bridgestone tyres here and
they feel great. Also a wheel alignment should be done to cover any future
problems you may encounter.

Hope this helps

I have Kumho Ecsta ASX, Works great. Much better than RE92
except maybe on snow.

You're going to get crap answers, unless you specify:
- desired wear characteristics
- desired grip
- desired performance in weather conditions (e.g. rain is more important
than dry, how much snow you expect to see)
- desired price
- desired noise levels

Bottom line is that any tire is a compromise of all of these things.  If
you're made of money and want maximum performance in rain and dry, with
decent all-weather performance in snow, then a Michelin Pilot Sport A/S
is excellent.  But they wear kinda quick, are rather noisy, and cost a
bunch.

Falken Ziex ZE-512 is an excellent all-season performer for a very
reasonable price.  Again, noisy, but last longer than most.

If you really see snow, then I'd suggest getting a real snow tire and a
spare set of wheels.  Change in the fall and spring.

If you have trouble hearing your stereo or conversations in your car, I
suggest considering a "grand touring" tire.  It's basically a
performance all season tire with some compromise to keep noise down.
