It rains there...... a lot. That wouldnt be the best choice for rain. Just look for some good winter tires. If you want cheap wheels Ill sell you my steelies for $50

Different people require different things.

Azenis wouldn't be so good for a daily driver IMO (especially with the amount of rainfall in his location). Although a very good track tire for the money, they just wear down too quickly. Plus, this guy looks like he's on a budget, so he wont want to be buying another set of tires within 10k miles.

Yes they are, it was a joke. As for the tires, just look for an good all-season tire. Try http://www.tires.com or do a google search for "tires" and look through those. From what I hear Michalaen(sp) last quite a long time. Hope this helps. I too am looking for tires. I know how much of a pain it is to search.

I have the Hankooks on my car. they're an improvement over stock and have a long tread life. I think they're good for a daily driver with ocassional agressive driving. Just nothing too extreme.
