I like Goodyear Tripletread Assurance tires. They don't have the stiffest sidewalls on the market, but they are much stiffer than stock tires - they handle much better than stock. They're great in the rain and have decent comfort. I have 22,000 miles on them and I've only used 3/32 of the tread (I still have 9/32" left). However, I only have 16 inch wheels, whereas SS's have 17" wheels=better handling, rougher ride, possibly less treadlife.
