Original equipment Bridgestone Eager 205/60/15. I pay roughly $48 each plus installation. But now I have 16x7 rims and I plan on using Sumitomo's because they are cheap and every set I've owned had awesome grip.

On my '89 TII since new:
Goodyear-Original-unusual wear pattern
Bridgestone-Too hard
Dunlop-Too hard
Michelin-Great all around, but not a very aggresive tread
Nitto-Too much tire noise
Falken-Great for the money. Thought traction limited
Presently Toyo Proxes-Best yet. Think price was about $600 for everything. Local tire shop.

goodyear eagle gt hr's(215/60/15), paid 280 shipped from tirerack.com installed and balanced myself. these tires suck, the sidewalls are way too flimsy. wouldnt recommend them to anyone. only advantage is that they are decent in the snow.

Falken Ziex 512 $48 each. Good tire, great grip when new, but they wear very quickly. I was looking for an all season high performance tire. I want something with good grip in dry weather, but wont put my car in a ditch if it rains. Falken Azenis were good, but they definately dont keep traction at all when its raining.

My cheap tires Kuhmo 711's 225x50-16.
<$300 out the door.
Dry traction - good.
Wet traction - better.
Tread wear - fair (which is good for my driving)

I have tires that look like rubber, but they are actually made out of poop. When I get new rims I'll be getting Falken Azenis or Kumho MX's

BF Goodrich 215/50-16 (Y Speed Rated) g-Force KDW
They are a great set of tires for dry and wet. I'm sure they suck on the snow. I got them from The Tire Rack for about $120 each (Ultra High Performance Summer Tire).

I'm running Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's, 225/50ZR16 all around.
Don't remember cost, got them from discount tires mounted on rims I bought from bigwheels.net (there are pictures there in the gallery of some shots of the rims and tires).
Impressions, these tires are so awesome. They grip like no other, I love em.
