Doesn't look like they make the Sport Signature in my size, but they do have the Signature. Has a 700 tread life too at only $87 a pop

I'd give the Pirelli P4 and the Yokohama Avid TRZ a look, both tires have good treadwear ratings and perform very well. Jim W runs the P4's on his GTP and likes them, and a friend of mine runs the Avid TRZ on his 2001 Camry, VERY quiet tire.

I'm currently running Michelin Hydroedge, an 800 treadwear rated tire, but to buy them new they're a bit out of your budget at $120 a pop.

I've had P4's for the past 30k miles and like them. They look pretty good for the mileage, and grip well in the rain and the little snow I got to drive them in.

If you check Discount Tire Direct's Ebay auctions you can find them for around $300 for all 4 shipped.

You're going to get more suggestions than you know.

I'm going to go with the Kumho Ecsta ASX. Highly rated, great in the winter, and they give nothing up in summer performance.

I've got the Kumho Solus KR21 tires on our Hyundai Santa Fe. I know, not a real good comparison for you. I do like the tires though - great wet, dry, and snow traction and these things wear like iron.
