i'm assuming most people use bridgestone because they come with the car when they are purchased..?

the oem dunlop sport maxx's are not too bad.

i've also tried nitto invo's (oem 18's), and they were a nice alternative with a good price/performance point.

i'm ready to replace my rear tires w/ michelin pilot sport ps2's. and from what i've heard from others, those who have used them swear by them now.
