This is one of those, "If you ask 20 people, you'll get 20 different answers." Basically you can't really go wrong with any of them. May I add another one into the mix?

Yoko AVS ES100s

That's what I run.

you should be looking at tire wear rating, not speed rating. you want the tires that'll last you the longest.

are those prices for 17s? If so... I've found khumos for close to $80... but anyway, that wasn't the question haha... if you want something cheap that will last for a while, go to Kramer Tire (I like the one on Warwick) and get Champiro's or Ventus'... they're not the best, but they're only $70 for 17s and they last for a while

Remember this is the only thing that touches the ground from your car. So, I'm gonna have to give a thumbs down to driving on the same kind of tire that a Tonka Truck rides on. Sorry.

you make a good point

However...when I had my 17s, my car was so ridiculously low to the ground, that I was eating up a tire a month because of camber... so cheaper was better at the time
