Default Catastrophy!.............................New tires now needed

Well after a run to the store today I was leaving the parking lot, yackin on the damn cell phone when I hit a pot hole. Bottom line, left front wheel and tire are toast. Put spare on and now notice the car drives way weird. Guess my tires were alot more worn than I thought. I have 4400 miles on the car and it has never been to the track.
So my question is this..............What tires should I get? I drive aggressively on the street a good amount, live in Texas, dont plan on hitting the track, and I have the stock Avus wheels.
I have heard good stories about the Goodyear F1's........

Anyone have suggestions?

Default 10 MPH in Parking lot..............Glad it wasnt the tollway

Liking the F1's alot. Price is much better than the PS2's. The F1's rate better on tirerack too.
Am I missing something here? Why pay $40 more per tire for less of a tire............Forgive me if I am starting a fire here.

Default I enjoyed S03s on my B5 S4.

There are new tires out now, but you should still include them on the list of tires that you consider.
