Default Tire Advice

I thought I would ask here first before i venture into the forums.
I am looking for some good summer/3 season tires at a decent price.
Not sure if i can afford top end tires yet.
I know sometimes companies have specials on newly developed tires when they first come out.
Any suggestions, rumors and stories welcome.

Thanks

Im really set on a set of Falken Fk-452's. They are cheap and seem to VERY good for the money. I have to replace my Goodyear RS-A's which were awsome tires. But @ $224 a tire for the RS-A's, I think I'm going to with something different


Heres a link to the 452's. I know two people in NE run them and really like them as well...

I'm, as I type this actually, am installing a set of Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's 225/45/17's on my car. I hear nothing but amazing reviews of these tires.

Cept on the ride home and the next few days while I break them in the right way. Thwap, thwap, thwap goes the sound of the sticker residue on the tires.

I just bought some Yokohama Parada Spec 2's 215/40/17 $85 each. They are not mounted yet but they are supposed to be good tires.

I just bought a set of Riken Raptors this past fall. About $100 a tire and great overall tire in my opinion.

The KDW's are nice.. for dry traction. Too freaking noisey though.
