I have been very pleased with my set of Hankook Ventus V12 EVOs. Price for all four shipped to my door was around $600 (that was after a rebate that was running at the time).

I have over 30k miles on mine, and could not be happier with them.

+3 for the Hankook Ventus V12 Evo's. I DD my car in the fair weather months and the tire performs very well for me. No road noise and good traction in the wet. Not to mention very reasonable prices.

I have the Michelin Pilot sport (non run flat) on my DD.
I got them from tire barn for around $950 shipped.
They are incredible, compared to what I had on it. (well worn Hankooks)
