Default I need help with tire selection.....

Im either going to get 205/45/16 or 205/50/15, depending on what size rims I get. Im lloking for a tire with good dry/wet grip, that will last long to DD abuse. Also nothing more the $100 a tire.

I'm not sure which tire brands and models are available in Romania.

Here in North America, the following tires would be good choices:

Kumho SPT
Avon Tech M500
Yokohama ES100

Its performance is crap compared with the three mentioned above.

Ranking those three for performance:

1. Avon
2. Kumho
3. Yokohama

and for Price (where 1 is lowest/best price):

1. Kumho
2. Yokohama
3. Avon

You can also get the Dunlop Direzza DZ101, which doesn't perform quite as well as these (still decent and way better than the crappy Parada but not as good as the other three) but is very inexpensive right now, with a $50 rebate offer through the end of the month.
