Wow, thanks a lot for the advice everyone. If michelins are the best out right now then I'm definitely getting those. Luckily, my dad is really into my car and I think he's footing the bill this time...
now I just want some cool rims...should I worry about that before I get new tires?

BTW they are made by Bridgestone, so they aren't some off the wall/no name brand

take a look at this chart, http://www.tirerack.com/tires/survey...ay.jsp?type=MP
Id go with the first second or fourth on the list. the fourth one is actually the best though (s-03's).

I have 8k miles on mine right now and they look great. My guess would be the 30k range.

Get the GS-D3's. Best all around summer performance tire made. Incredible wet traction. In fact they were developed in Europe for Ferrari and some other cars for rainy conditions.

I have Bridgestone Potenza 730's. They have been on the car for 3 years about 10,000 miles and are wearing great even with the spirited driving I do and the ocassional burnout. They have about 50% tread left. Traction and handling are very good with these.
