    I replaced my factory Bridgestone Turanza's a couple days back with the Nokian WR G2. My '08 Touring edition called for 195/55/16 tire size which seemed to have only expensive options.

    The Turanza's were very dangerous in the snow and rain and showed extreme wear at 30k. I live in Massachusetts so snow does become an issue.

    For anyone in Massachusetts I recommend Kenwood Tire in W.Bridgewater. I paid 139- per tire, plus $18 mounting and balance with nitrogen. The tires ride great, I can't wait for the snow.

    Thanks to all the other Touring owners who recommended the Nokian WR G2's as so far I could not be happier.
