Time for new tires
Any suggetstions, I am looking to replace the Conti's (30,000 miles) on my 2.8 Frontrak with the 16" Wineglass rims. So I just want something comfortable but with better performance that won't break the bank. Should I increase the width to the 225/50 ?

Have had the PS A/S for 5,000 miles -->
they are a fantastic tire in the wet and snow and very good in the dry. Much higher performance than the other A/S tires on the market. Make sure you read about them on the Michlin website. They have a wear indicator of 400 so the milage should be very good.

Do you need 4 season or summer tires?
If summer, the Bridgestone S-03 seem to be the best tire ever but they cost a lot. I've been told that the Pirelli P Zero are smooth and quiet.
Michelins pilot sport are not cheap but seem to be good.

Summer tires have softer compound and perform better
if you live and drive where there are no snows and rarely rains summer tires will be perfect. I had good experience Michelins Pilot but they are very expensive. A lot of people like the Bridgestone S-03. However, I had bad experience with Pirelli's p4000, p-zero, and p7000.
