I believe you can find a lot more info on this at the Wheels & Tires section.

Michelin Pilot Sport A/S are a good bet.

Unless you hold a grudge against Michelin, then I'm not sure what to get after the OEM Bridgestone's wear out.

I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

Currently Hankook V12, but will be making a switch to Michellin PSS very soon. The Hankooks last me about 18K miles.

If you might be driving your car in snow, this is my choice as well.

For price and wet weather performance, I love my Nitto Invos. I stepped up a size in width (for the sport wheels) at both the front and rear to 255 and 285, respectively. Plus I got 20K miles on my last set of Invo rears vs <10K on the rears with stock RE050s.

Are Michelin PSS worth the extra $$$ over Hankook V12s?

Hell yes. V12s are junk compared to PSS.

Yes. I am on my second set of PSS -- I have used many different tires on many different cars in my long driving history and they are by far the best I have ever used. They are world-class and worth every dollar.

Hankook are entry level, at best. They are excellent on Hyundai, Kia or Prius though.
