The Tire Rack site has an incredible wealth of information and is easy enough to use. There prices seem excellent also, but not worth it if you import into Canada. We get hit at the border, even though we are supposed to have a free trade agreement...
I opted for the new Yokohama avid V4s on our chipped 9-5 lpt and am very satisfied after 10 000km but, as mentioned in the Tire Rack comparison, it is not the best tire in the rain. This being said, it is acceptable in the rain, MUCH better than the Michelins that came with the car. They are very quiet and have a very decent thread wear number for V-rated tires. Although I don't drive as fast in curves as I used to (the suspension has gotten soft), they seem very rigid.
