I have the SP5000 Symmetricals on my '93 CSET 5spd. I have been very pleased. I don't think you can find a better high performance all season tire in the 205/60VR15 size when considering the cost. I bought them through Sears for $85 apiece minus a 10% discount. Saves the hassle of ordering through the mail for roughly the same cost.
They are very good in the rain, very good in the snow, dry performance is very good - but not up to the levels of a summer tire (to be expected), noise level/comfort is excellent (even after being worn).
I previously ran Pirelli 6000 Sport Veloce. They were very good, got 43K out of them, but were terrible in snow and rain once they got worn passed 50% of their treadwear.
I now have over 42,000 miles and am still running them but they are very close to wear indicators. Expect to get 45K miles easy before replacement.
