I'm in need of some new tires (again) having run thru 2 sets of Goodyears in the last 3 years.

I am only planning on keeping the car for another 2yrs (before upgrading to hopefully an ES Hybrid) and I drive 95% city to the tune of about 8-9k miles per year max.

I'm looking for suggestions for a low cost, good ride tire. I don't need ultra high performance, nor snow (not here in SoCal at least). I also don't want to spend a fortune since I just dropped 2k on the tranny and still need to drop almost another 2 grand to replace engine mounts, valve cover seals, a/c compressor unit and p/s hoses. I'll be lucky to break even when I sell it.

I have to admit, the variety of reviews on TR and other sites is ridiculously confusing - 2 people with similar cars with 180degree different opinions on the same set of tires....

Please help!!
