I need the BEST place to find tires, I dont want to spend no more than $1100... Any suggestions? I dont need drifting/racing/track tires. I need some decent tires. Thoughts?
Tire Rack

Max Performance tires
Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position Set of 4 $800.00 (These are good tires)
Continental ExtremeContact DW Set of 4 $835.00 (Also good tires)

Extreme Performance Tires
Bridgestone Potenza RE-71R Set of 4 $1146.80 (Best Street AutoX tire out there at the moment, do not wear well)
Dunlop Direzza ZII Star Spec Set of 4 $1096 (These have had good reviews and they look cool)

As a follow up, all my previous suggestions are summer tires. They do not like to be driven in temps under 40 degrees. Some vendors indicate that prolonged exposure to under 40 degrees changes the molecular composition and they will not perform as well. That said, I think you would be well served by the S-04's. BUT

There are several brands that are not represented by Tire Rack and you will want to investigate them as well Nitto and Falken come to mind.
