Gary,

The Turbo models don't take special tires except the size is a little different from the non-turbo models. Both can take the same type of tires, just the size is different. I think you have the 205x50x17 which are original but you might have upgraded a bit with all the different tires you've had so 235x45x17 is also a good size of a wider tire. Go to Tire Rack - Your performance experts for tires and wheels and fill in the info for your car and then hit "show all tires this size" and it will give you loads of different tires to look at. Make sure you look for the Treadwear Rating for each tire. Pick a couple of tires that fit your need and go to your local dealer to see how much they want for them. Tire Rack will probably be cheaper but you have to add shipping (about $10 per tire) and have someone mount and balance them so you could be better off at a local dealer. Plus usually a local dealer will balance them, fix flats and rotate them for the life of the tire.
