I have had good experience with my Bridgestone SF-325s.
I have a '94 R package, and I have not experienced poor handling
with them in either dry or wet weather.  Living in Austin
means I may not get a chance to try them in snow very soon.

Historically, I really liked my Bridgestone Potenza RE71s,
205-60VR15, on my 1986 RX-7 Sport package.  They lasted well over
40,000 miles and stuck like glue.

I wonder what differs between my experience and those who dislike
the SF-325?  I occasionally drive at 8/10ths, and have had 
experience with sports cars (76 280Z, 80 RX-7, 86 RX-7, 
and now 94 Miata R).  My Miata outhandles all the others, even the 86.
