You'll be struggling for good tyres for $400 max. Try $500-600 mate, get something really good.

^ Lol what are you gonna get for under 100 per corner?

For a little more you can get some Kumho KU31's and a little more you have KU36's (good value and wear) even consider the Cheaper Dunlops of Falken 452's. Anything else you'd be looking at 1K plus for a set!

Some friends have told me that Federal 595-SS are decent for their price. For a type s (215/45/17) it costs around $120ish per corner. I personally haven't had any experience with them, so maybe someone here can chime in
