1. good performance on street (no track duties)
2. durable
3. Hopefully under 100 dollars per tire

15 inch performance tires are about $150-$160

Semi-slick can be had for $200

You obviously get what you pay for, but none of your 3 options really match.

2nd hand tires are about $40 that last approx 12 months

Nankang are prob the best budget tire around.

Kumho Ecsta 712's are awesome..
As with the Toyo T1-S and Yokahama ES100...
All low-medium priced..

Falken's are a cheaper substitute.. u get what you pay for mate..

Falkens are alright during the first yr and half.
After that the compound seems to go hard and slips in the wet.
I got the Falken 115 for $115 each back then

now using G3 $120 each

another vouch for the GIII's...unbelievable value, mileage, wet+dry performance in my opinion. :)

For Street-only performance... get Bridgestone GIII...
I also used on track and they held out well enough for street tyres...
About $120 each
