Falken Azenis tend to offer great value for money and would probably be your best bet if on a budget.

for street or track only?? if for street waste of money and loud!!!
but IF you have to get a set get a set of Bridgestone RE540's... they should be on run out to accommodate new RE55's... not much problem wet handling and awesome dry handling...

yeah road noise loud...
the Falken Azenis RT215 isnt really a semi slick. they are a really high performance street tyre.
I have used dunlop Formula R D88J and found them to be pretty damn good.
don't use it on teh street tho cos thats a waste of money. they can cost in the high $200 mark for a 15 inch one.

re540s or dunlop do1j cost like 290 for 195-55-15 and 350$ ish for 205-50-15
Toyo Ra1 205/50/15 inch : $250 each
Toyo r881 195/55 15 inch : $240 each

I can speak for the TOYO's that EG5 are selling.
I had the car stock, drove it hard on stock rims for a few days and got scared by how much understeer there was. Tyres were screeching like mad. This is with stock suspension by the way on my EG.
I got a set of these semi slicks from EG5 and fanged around the same corners and my goodness. Awesome. Not even a tiny little bit of screeching, nada, no loss of traction at all. They make a little bit of noise when you're just going straight on a smooth road which is to be expected of semi-slicks. I even floor it through roundabouts now and that's with stock suspension! Can't wait to get some real suspension for these tyres.
