Good and cheap don't go together. Just look at Sumitomos....

Save a little more and get BFG's or Goodyears.

+1

This is my Pet Peeve. My buddies like to dump thousands to make their cars go fast but cheap out on the tire. You gotta put the power to the ground and you have to be able to stop/control in an emergency situation.

funny how now youre looking at $850+ tires lol! BFG'S BFG'S they last long eagle f1's cost a lot and are a soft tire so they dont last very long at all, the bfg's are a hard tire=last long and grip really well in dry and wet conditions
