where the rubber meets the road
What brand / model of all-season tires would you guys recommend for my bonne?
The Goodyears on there now really seem to suck. btw, I drive in a decent amount of snow here in Michigan, maybe I could get some Canadian imput on this. . .

I have no complaints (so far) with the Bridgestone Turanza'* that I bought for my Aurora (which I know can be had on Bonny'* as well). They are rated for superior dry and wet traction, excellent light snow traction, comfortable ride, and long treadwear. Only downside is that they ain't cheap.
Here is tirerack.com'* page about them

I'm not impressed with the Goodyears I have right now. . . I think they are called Regatta? They really didn't last very long and I was squealing tires around a turn, an on/off ramp that the other Bonnies at the Lakeville meet had no problem with. Swerving to avoid roadkill my back end started fish tailing. . . and grip was horrid at 100 (taking into account I think Bonnies don't handle great at 80+). Personally, I'm going back to Bridgestone when I need new tires. So far they have worked the best for me.

I live north of you a bit and have never felt the need for snows. They might be nice, but I think you are just as well off around here with a good pair of all seasons. (Just my two cents)
