215/45-17 stock tire replacment???
Well my Bridgestone tires on my 2006 TC are about toast at 37k miles...
Keeping my stock 17in rims and looking for a good tire around $100 each that I will get some decent mileage out of and not loose MPG or add noise.
I was looking at reviews on discount's site but they are not all that helpful.
Who has aome recommendations from experience?

I got Continental Conti Extreme Contacts a/s on my tC about 3500 miles ago. I think they are great. I have had no problems in the wet(actually more grip than before in the wet) but I haven't driven in moderate/heavy snow yet, although very light snow was good as well.
The tires look cool as well, but the traction is just so much better than with the OEM tires. I would reccommend them to anyone.
I hope that helps
