I have stock rims (which I'm keeping for now) and stock non sport suspension, which I plan on upgrading this summer. I live most of the year up in Binghamton, NY which gets a lot of foul weather and live on Long Island the rest of the year. I mostly do normal/somewhat spirited driving and just want an all around good performance tire that is good in the rain as well. I was looking into the S-03 pole positions because I've heard nothing but good things, but they are kind of expensive compared to kumhos and nittos. I've also read that the kumhos are noisy. I appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

think about what size you are going to go first..
if you are using the 16s that you have.. dont go with s03s its a waste of money.. im guessing you are definately looking for an all season tire... you might want to look into something else

Okay, so do you need a tire with ANY snow capability???
A LOT of snow capability?? A little?? None? What? That's going to drive your decision. If you live in Binghamton, and you don't want to run separate snow tires, and you don't have the luxury of parking your car everytime a snowflake hits the ground, S03's and many other tires will not work.
The next question is what is your budget. For example, in a 225-45-17 tire, prices range from about $100 to well over $200/tire. Multiply by 4, and you're talking about a huge price differential.
