There are better performing tires but something fair in that price range
would either be Kumho ecsta 712's or Toyo T1-S tires (don't hold me to that; prices always change). The Toyo's grip a little better and are a hair louder while the Kumho's are quieter but grip less at the limit. Kumho's cost less but will not last as long as the Toyo's. Both tire compounds are 'medium'; the Toyo's are a tad harder. The Kuhmo's have big water channels and do well (for the $$$) in the rain - even @ 39f/41r psi! I haven't had much wet weather experience with the Toyo's so I cannot comment much on that. The Toyo's definately grab the road better in the dry. Well, those are the facts - good luck.

Re: There are better performing tires but something fair in that price range
Thanks for the helpful feedback. I just got quoted on four Toyo T1-S tires. They want $830 for four 225/40ZR18. Do you know if that's a good price for these tires? Also how many can you get from the Toyo's? Thanks Jayson

Asking how many miles?
I've only put about 2K miles on them. From the looks of my tires now, you should be able to get; ballparking here..
40-50K+ of regualar driving.
upper 20's-35k of 'aggressive street driving', right down to the wear indicators, for sure.
They should last for several track auto-x's
From the looks of things, I'd say that they're the more 'durable' uhp performance tire, a mark above the Kumho's.
$830 (shipped?) is not too shabby @ all.
