I went from white knuckle driving in the rain out of fear when the stock tires were nearing their EOL to pushing 70 in torrential rain on the highway with a new set of BFGs.

Pays to do your research too. I always recommend hitting up Tire Rack to see what's recommended for the car then base your purchase on that. Getting the cheapest is rarely the way to go, but you may not necessarily need the ultra high performance summer tires either (but if your car DOES need them, better go get them)
