Tire dilemna, need fast advice

[Larry C Leung]

All four. You will need balanced performance on your car in order to keep
your car predictable in an emergency situation. The Eagle GAAAHHH's are
pretty poor performing tires (only redeeming factors are treadwear and
the fact that they are a good looking tire), so either the Bridgestones
or the T/A VR4's will grip noticeably better than the GA's making the car
either loose itn the tail or plow up front, either way not good.
