i always get my tires from tirerack.com. They got one of the best prices i found so far. But you have to know how to mount and bal yourself to actually save some money.

Yup, Kuhmo's are ****, Nitto's are up there as well. Azenis will give you awesome traction, but at the cost of long tread life. I'm using Dunlop FM901's and so far they are wearing at a decent rate...and are hella sticky. Not sure how much they'll be for your 15" blades, but your best bet is to buy them online (tirerack or others) and have a local guy mount them.

<---Bridgestone potenza s03's I got them about a week ago and I have to tell you I've been resisting the urge to beat on them this soon.....but I give in now and then and I tell you, these tires are worth their weight in gold. I haven't made a single squeal yet......

You can't beat the traction these tires get.

Costco can order them for you at 138.00 a piece including shipping, installation, and a road hazard warranty. Tire rack is something like 122 a tire + shipping, and there's an optional road hazard plan, and you have to pay some shop to install them.

Costco

Another tire you might look at are the BFG G-force T/A KD (Not the KDW)
Supposed to be even better than the s03's for dry traction, without giving up toooo much wet traction.

I can also tell you the Falken ziex 512's suck *****. I know from personal experience that they suck. The Azenis Sport tires are supposed to be pretty good, but get a bit sloppy when hot, and scary in any kind of water.

Really depends on what you want to spend, if you want to compromise one thing for another. I'd rather compromise a little tread life for a superior handling tire, and a little more money for a tire that doesn't have to stay out of the water in order to have good dry traction.
