I watched YouTube about the new z06 vette. It will have Michelin pilot sport tires. The guy on the video said the tires were super sticky. So punched in the size 275/40/17 on eBay to see the price. They are $1200 for 4 tires. I was shocked. Is there something similar on a budget.
Tire rack lists sumotoyo (something like that) for $360. What's a good tire for a fair price

I have the Michelin pilot SS and they are awesome. Super sticky with great tread life. They are up there among the stickiest you can buy for the street and still have a 300 tread wear rating and a 30k mile warranty. Not to mention they have a soft sidewall so they ride great. Well worth the money in my opinion.

$5-600 a tire or a set?
If it's a tire......then we can talk some damn nice tires.
If it's a set, and you're doing no track...then why do you care about such a thing? You're never going to get that great of traction on the street, so just get a regular street tire and call it good. I will never understand people that think they need some crazy tire if they never race the their car on a track.
