    UPDATE!

    So I bought a set of the Yokohama AVID Envigor 205/50R16 87V when there was just over 75K on Schultze.

    I've had them rotated every 5K (give or take 500miles) and kept them properly inflated, etc. etc.

    Alignment is good as all four tires have even wear across the board.

    Schultze currently has just under 108K and I need to replace the tires after 33K miles of use.

    What's new on the market these days?

    I'm a VERY spirited driver and the car sees lots of rain, but very little snow. Schultze is my daily driver and it does occasionally snow here in Hampton Roads, VA (Virginia Beach, Norfolk, etc.).

    Looking forward to reading your input & comments. :D

    Not as cheap but I'd recommend Hankook Ventus V12 Evos. You'll have to go to a "plus zero" size 205/55/16. With regular rotation you can get 30k+ miles have WAAAAAAAYYYY better grip than the Fuzions and great wet traction.

    $100/tire on Discount Tire Direct. Go to your local Discount tire and they will match the Direct price. Plus Hankook is offering an $80 rebate on 4-tires.
