I've never heard of lemans tires, so i'd say the bfg, it will also depend on the kind of driving you do. If you want some performance, some of the tuner tires would be good and affordable choices as well, such as the yoko es100?

I'm running Toyo Proxes RA-1's. You can't beat those. Excellent prices at www.aimtire.com

Tire choices

what type of driving are you going to be doing?

daily driver? michelin xgt-h4
drifting/....yoko es100
racing?....a number of tuner tires.....

basically you do get what you pay for.....

and as for the bfg touring...i have had 2 sets of 4 tires.........one set on a '79 12a......alot of fun...and a second set on a 2001 alero.....less fun.....

tires

You may want to consider the Sumitomo HTR 200 from Tire Rack. They are a great all around tire for a very attractive price.
If you have gone to "plus" sizing on the tires and wheels you may want to consider the Avon M550 AS.
