Post 9 yr old tires on '02 ES 300!

Recently discovered my '02 ES 300 has '01 tires on it! My fault for not catching it earlier. Any suggestions? Was thinking about Goodyear GT. Any ideas? I still have stock rims. Thanks.

I would consider your driving style as well as what characteristics your looking for? Handling, Noise/comfort, treadlife, then check out tirerack for good info as well as lots of driver feedback.
My preference is excellent wet weather handling and good treadwear.
I ride 19" though

Thanks for the input so far...I will research the Falken Zeix 912s...I am looking for good handling and wear. I don't have to worry about snow or ice, but the rain storms are pretty bad so the tires must be able to deal with that. I still have stock rims so I would probably be looking for something within the 215/60R16 range. I also don't want to spend an arm and a leg, but I am willing to spend a decent amount since they will keep me safe.

Love the michelin primacy mxv4. Expensive but best I've owned. Very quiet and the handling is very good. Great in the rain. Supposedly competent in the snow. Checkout tirerack. they get the best reviews in class of 20 tires. I can see why in 200 miles.

My opinion:
1) Michelin MXV4
2) Falken Ziex ZE 912
3) Bridgestone Potenza
