I've got Yokohama AVS Intermediates on my '97 and they rock. Great in the
rain, and awesome in the dry. I've got 11,000 miles, 3 autocrosses, and
several track days on them and the tread is holding up well. A little
spendy, though...I paid $130 each. I've heard the Dunlop 8000 is a pretty
similar tire, not quite as grippy, but a bit better tread life, and it's
cheaper.
