I know that the Pirelli's are highly regarded and always mentioned as "THE" tire to get, but at a cost of $101 a tire, and then $20-$25 for mount and balance, you're looking at $500. Like yourself, I was trying to get a decent tire for a decent price. I just can't justify getting an expensive high performance tire when our cars simply don't demand it, unless they are raced. I just got the Falken 512's a couple of months ago and they are awesome, even drove them once in the snow already and was very impressed. I paid $74/each with free shipping (tires.com) and paid about $85 total for mount and balance at local shop. That's $380 compared to $500. Good luck.
