i will prob. catch alot of crap for this but, i go to tirerack.com and order Kuhmo tires. they make high performance tires. read their customer feedbacks, they are usually higher than more expensive well known tire brands. only downfall i have found is that they are soft compound (they hook good) and dont last 40,000 miles but i've bought 3-4 sets and lovem.

Yeah i have Kumhos on my car. I like them, not wearing too fast but i dont dont put too many miles on the car either, but ive heard they dont last that long just like any toher low profile tire. And they do look good and really stick out.
