are there any decent tyres with 300 wear rating for under $200 a pop (in 17")?

i like the sounds of the yoko c-drive but its slightly out of my budget... replacing all 4 would be $1k+

and i'm really dissapointed with the factory bridgestones.. not only were they loud and caused my car to veer to the right, they also ran out superfast with normal driving ... dont want this to happen again with the next set.
