What size rims?

If you have 16" rims, which I doubt, you should look into Firestone SZ-50EP's. Forget the Firestone SUV issues, as this tire is made in Japan using the same technology as the BS S-02PP, and still holds onto #1 in the Tire Rack's survey of "Ultra-high-performance" tires from among 37 tire models in the survey. Alas, there is but one 15" offering, and it is likely too wide for a 9K wheel well. Wet traction is phenomenal. I'm on my second set and losing traction is never an issue, even in the wet. I hear they suck in snow, though, like most (all?) hi-perf, non-M&S tires--but I wouldn't know about that living in Baton Rouge.
Also look into the Kumho ECSTA Supra 712, which holds onto #6 in the same survey but is *very* reasonably priced. A friend installed some on his 5L Mustang and is very happy. They may also suck in snow/ice.
