Michelin Proxima's are supposed to be really good if you can get them.  They
are very expensive though, the price I was quoted was $135 ea.

I went with the Bridgestone Potenza RE92, I got them online from the
Tirerack for about $60 each.  As I recall shipping was about $35 and it cost
me $15 locally to have them mounted.

They aren't 'quite' as good as the Invicta's I had before, though they did
improve after few hundred miles.  I'd say (based on average energy usage)
right now they slightly less efficient than my old Invictas.  I use about 5%
more energy for the same distance/route.

P.S.  I think the Potenza RE92 is what the Insight uses and I think they use
a special run-flat version on the EV1.
