But, if you just want to talk tires, I like Michelins Z=rated on my buggie (currently XGT-Zs). They are great in the dry on my car, but in the wet they really come into their own.

As I'm sure you've gathered from my other posts in this thread, it ain't what you've got, but what you can do with it :)

I really do! Seeing how I haven't sat in the driver's seat since I broke my leg in April, I'm getting a little antsy to hit the pedals. My doc says I may be able to start driving in a month or so - can't wait.

I don't know if you've noticed, but no matter who you ask these three things may be listed as personal preferences/achievements: everyone loves music, everyone is great in bed, and everyone is a good driver. More often than not, none of the three have any bearing to reality.
Best Wishes,
Felix
