I have a '96 CSE with 16" Aero rims and an Aero suspension. It came with Toyo Proxes which lasted 20K miles. I went to Nokian NRVi tires that were great but also only went about 22K before hitting the wear bars. Those are about to be replaced.
I'm going with Bridgestone RE960AS Pole Position tires in 205/55x16. They have very good ratings on Tire Rack and several people here have been pleased with them. Sounds like I should be able to get about 30-35K out of them. They are an "Ultra high performance all-season" which means they should be OK in cold temps or light snow, which is an advantage where we live. I switch to 205/60x15 Nokian WRs in mid-November. The new sneakers go on in about a week.
My logic on these tires instead of a true summer tire is longer tread life, as I have 3 Saabs to keep tires on, so an extra year spreads out the cost.
My local tire guy says there's a Bridgestone rebate deal going on, worth $75 on a set of four.
