Good tires?

Hey guys, I recently ordered a set of 17*8s...can anybody help me out with some nice tires around the 100 range? I have heard good things about Yokohama AVSs but I am not sure...

yeah, the bad thing with falkens is they only go up to 245's on 17's. i wish they made them in bigger sizes.

oh man.. if you can get 'em.. get some potenza's. Bridgestone rocks IMHO. I had Potenza RE950's on my '92 Civic EX and they're great great tires (and they're all-season tires, 440 treadwear so it's not like they're super soft either).

I've heard nothing but good things and read nothing but good reviews on the Potenza S03 pole position (stay away from the S02's though if you drive in wet weather though, the S02's aren't as good as the S03's in wet)

My budget is around 100 per tire...so will the Falkens still be a good buy? Or would other higher priced tires be better?

I am thinking of Yoko AVS ES100 or Avid H4, Pirelli P7000 Supersport...any other suggestions?
