ok I need some help {2005 Mazda6 Wagon}

I am going to need tires for the Wifes Mazda here by the end of this summer .

the 2nd set of tires on it are all ready 1/3 gone..
Here is the tire size
215/50-17

I want a tire that will keep or improve handling that Mazda cars have all ready..
here is the kicker it must be a 60K tire and here in the Seattle area it needs to be a good wet or dry tire...

So post up links or brands that have good reviews..

I don't know if they come in the size you need, but I've had great results from the Sumitomo HTRs (on my 2nd set now). Cost is under 50 bucks each in 13" size...

I wish I knew what the Michelins were that came on my moms '98 Outback. They last all of 89K with AWD.

That is freaking ridiculous!!! I can tell you what, the Goodyear RS-A's that came on my Mazda3 probably won't last 25K...tops!

I will look into that brand for sure and see what I can find ..

I was also liking into BFGoodridge as I have been happy with the 5-6 sets that I have bought over the years...
