Falken RT615.

They own all and they're cheaper than most. Best prices I've found were from Vulcantire.com
One more shootout FYI

I've been running TOYO T1R tires on my T2 for the past year and really like them. On my Vert.... when I got the car it had WNYSTAR tires which were for the most part new. I since found out the are from.... Pep Boys hah! I've run the **** out of these tires for two years and can't wear 'em out. They've worn great, handle pretty good.... go figure.
Just hit Tire Rack or such places and compare specs and prices. Lots of good tires out there, just depends on what ya got for cash.

BFGoodrich g-Force Sport's, some of the highest rated tires on tire rack for their class. Only around $95 each. Nice tread look and sidewall. They have around an 8/10 wet rating for both Hydroplane Resist and for Traction. Dry rating of near 9/10 for Cornering Stability, Traction and Response.

I'm running Yokohama AVS ES100's on my car. I upgraded from the previous el-cheapo $35\tires that were on it when I bought the car.
They're definitely a big step up but they're not the ones I would have picked had I done my research.

$420 shipped and they're yours. Great street tire, but not quite as track worthy as the Falken I mentioned. (Then again they should be good for 40k miles not the 8-10k the Falken's might see)

-BF Goodrich's G-Force sport tires, and I was really impressed with the quality and low road noise levels of the tires.
-Now I have Yokohama ES-100's and I'm VERY happy with the break away characteristics during autocross, but they tend to be much more noisy in comparison, and tend to follow imperfections in the road much more.
-I've also used the Toyo Proxis 4, and the FZ-4... The FZ-4 wasnt too good during wet weather. The Proxis 4 did quite well, and I've never had an issue with them.

I've got toyo proxes t1-s (i believe the t1-r's had just come out when i got these), and they have been great....look awesome, and handle very well. I don't remember what I paid for them but it's been worth it.

I got mine on sale at Tire Rack for about 90 each, including installation and balance at Walmart.
Great dry and wet grip for a cheap street tire.
