Here's my reply to him:
I know I posted a reply with a tire that I replaced my Firehalks with, but I think I left out the model. Anyway, I'll just make this quick. I replaced the factory-installed, noisy, rock-hard 17" Firehalks with Continental Extreme Contact all-weather tires (which includes snow). I believe, out of the tons of tires I've put on my cars over all my 42 years of vehicle ownership, that these are the best tires I have ever purchased. They're sticky on wet and dry roads, very smooth, very quiet and very nice looking. And, probably because of the asymetric tread, they don't squeel when I "get on it" with the 5-speed manual. They just do a very quick "shuffle" and they hook right up to the road and see ya later. Dang, I love these tires! I bought mine from America's Tire and the price was reasonable. Hope this helps.
