I get the Sumitomo HTR Z tires. Mainly because I have 315's in the rear and want matching tread on all 4 corners. There are very few like that. I get mine from Tire Rack. They've got prices better than $200 per copy.

Go on tire rack and look at the Kumho tires. Here's a link.

I had been using Kumho tires for a long time and love them. I only switched to Sumitomo because I changed wheels a few years ago and needed a 315. If Kumho made a 315 tire I would switch back to them.

Nitto Invos, just got a set at www.discounttiredirect.com
Ride smooth, quiet, quite happy with them, they replaced the Michelin Pilot Sport II RF's, noisy hard tire.

 Good quality tire at a near unbeatable price, especially when 315's are needed. Traction and handling are better than most but not the best out there, But for the price hard to beat.
