or how much for the cheapest? how much for the mid range?

Maybe Falken ST115? 140 for 195/55/15 but 195/50 should be cheaperQuote:

I've got Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 225/45R17 on my euro, and I quite like it. Dry performance I must say is excellent, much much better than stocko dunlop 2050M.
Wet performance, not quite happy, but definitely better than stocko as well. Ride is a bit harsher, but that's probably because of lower profile and stiff sidewall. Noise level is about the same as stocko, so couldn't complain there. Got them for $250 each. Will bring this to track next week and update you on how it perform on the track. I just wish it'll be a dry day, cause I know I definitely won't like the tyre on wet track.
I now have the Dunlop Direzza dz101's on the front now. They were $255 for 205/40/17 apparently a good price for direzza's in the size, considering some places still selling the FM901's for more than this. Suprising how much the price of tyres goes up each year! Some places were quoting me $280 for fm901's. $40 more than last year.
Thought I'd try them. I haven't had any problems, been great in the wet and dry, and they are much quieter compared to the fm901s. When the rear tyres need changing I'll probably also change these to the direzza's.
Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 is holding very well on the track. Sidewall is stiff, didn't feel it flexing. I would recommend this tyre for daily driving and occasional track.
what are ppls thoughts on Falken Ze-326, i can get 195/50/15 for $95 each
hankook k104 205/45/r16 87y
got these recently when i bought my new rims. tested them out really well yesterday on private twisty roads with mix of wet and dry... and omg these rock! on the street they are sensational too!
highly recommend these! and for just under $200 each i think they are the best change to my car i've done so far
i believe with that comment, ben is referring to running g3 195s on 7 inch wide rims.Quote:
