I suppose that decent handling is a double edged sword. On one hand you 
might feel inclined to take turns and curves faster than normal because 
of the added grip; on the other hand, a better tire might save you from 
getting into a sticky situation in bad conditions. Personally, I'll 
always go for grip no matter how I drive or what I am driving.

I can't really click the link since I am at work and looking at car 
stuff is sort of frowned upon (or probably is; I don't want to find 
out) :)

You might want to look for something with a decent balance between wear 
and handling. Maybe one of the Dunlop SP series tires..
I am sure that others are going to chime in here with tire suggestions..

good luck
Ian
