Guys,

I need some informed advice. I am currently running Bridgestone Portenza S-03's (205/55/15). They are great tires, but I am going through them too quickly to justify shelling out the ~$175 a tire. So what I need is a good street tire that isn't going to cost me an arm and a leg. I'd prefer something Z-rated. I had some Yokohama AVS Intermediate's on my 510, and liked those. I had some Dunlop SP8000's that were an okay tire I suppose. What are some good tires in the $100-120 price range?

The Dunlop Sport 8000 is going to be the best bang for the buck in your size at $87.00 each. The SO-3s are $113.00 now as well. Just give me a call and I can get you set up.
