Hi,
I just got done going through the same thing for my 96 SETC. Tire experiences:
Stock Michelins: Great Tire. Expensive.
Bridgestone RE730:
Good tires. Wore out in 30k miles. Noisy, but not intolerable to me. Dry traction was so good it was scary - like having racing slicks. Wet traction was ok - tended to hydroplane after about 50% wear. Snow/ice traction was so bad it was scary. Very harsh ride.
Bridgestone RE950 (205/55R16):
Just put 'em on, based on advice from here and TireRack.com. Great tires. Very quiet, esp. after the 730s, and with a much smoother ride, too. Dry & wet traction are very good. No snow / ice experience yet. Hoping to get 40k miles out of 'em. No rubbing from the higher profile tire, however, my mileage is off by about 1mph in the trip computer - anybody had similar experiences?
Good luck!
-Chris
