I was trying to stay in the $250-300 range too. That's why I went with Warriors ($230) in the start but was convinced to try the Assurance ($400)..extra money I had to borrow (poor college student) Barum Bravuris 205/60R-15 91V BSW (12359) $56.00 Warrior HR 205/60R-15 91H BSW (19248) $57.00 (cost me $230) Hankook W401 P205/60R-15 90T B (11663) $58.00 Yokohama IG10 Ice Guard 205/60R-15 91Q BW (44605) $63.00 Kumho 716 Ecsta HP4 BSW P205/60R-15 90H BSW (33196) $69.00 Barum Bravuris OR58 205/60R-15 91H B (12339) $69.00 Road Hugger GT-A P205/60R-15 90H OBL (15175) $78.00 Yokohama AVID Touring P205/60R-15 90S B (43713) $88.00 Goodyear Assurance ComforTred P205/60R-15 90T VSB (31496) $90.00 (cost me $400) Michelin Pilot XGT H4 P205/60R-15 90H (35822) $92.00

I like the 17s I got so far. They are so cheap I was considering them as the new tires for the 15s for my wifes mystique. Only concern is winter snow driving. http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/findTireProductCategoryDetailBrnd.do?tpc=FALHH3&tp=Passenger%2FPerformance Green 2000 SVT #1166 mods-K&N and Custom heat shield, optimized y pipe, Magnaflow center resonator, DMDhttp://www.geocities.com/savinoss/Cars.html -Wifes car 99 Mystique V6 5 spd

The T1R, T1-S, and RA-1 would give a pretty harsh ride. The FZ4 might be better. All the Proxes line are sporty - which means lousy ride, in general. -Philip Maynard '95 Contour [71 STS \| Track Whore] '97 Miata [71 ES \| Boulevard Pimp] 2006 autocross results
