The date code on the current tires is 05, next season I need some new skins. Was quoted $257 per tire (Michelins). The place is a performance tire shop. So I'm looking at over $1k. That's all I know at this point.
Sumitomos are around 500ish for 4
They drive just fine, never had one go bad...had a few sets no complaints-from city hwy and hard canyon driving was pretty satisified overall.
By the time your tires are 4-5 yrs old they are starting to get hard so spending 2-300 a tire doesnt seem worth it unless you got it to blow.
They arent the worst nor the best;if you want higher quality Conti is something to consider
Tire Rack is a vendor here Luke can help you out post in the wheel/tire section, they have many choices

Thanks, Sumitomos will work just fine for me as, I only drive it in nice weather, about 5,000 miles a year. No burnouts, no crazy fast cornering, mainly just cruising.
The BFG G-Force A/S can be had for around $800 'out the door' if available in your size. I really am very impressed with mine on both my Trans Am and C4. The BFG's have been on my T/A for 3 years and about 26k miles and on my C4 for just over a year and 3k miles. Good ride, impressive cornering, and "Made In USA" is just a bonus.
I just put a set of Continental Extreme Contact Sports on. They maybe the best set of tires I have ever had on this car. They Handle Extremely well and are quiet.
I am the original owner of my '94, 23 years. I have had all of these tires on the car...
They age way before they wear.

Ive got a set sitting in my garage that came off of the 96 that i just bought. They are older tires (06 code) but do not have any rot and drove perfectly from LI New York to Cincinnati. I swapped GS wheels onto the car so i do not need these. They would be perfect for a weekend cruiser. The fronts look new and the backs are probably 65-70%

Pretty cheap if you are looking at Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 in 275-40R17 with a "Y" speed rating. Where are you getting that price? Could be interesting. Mine are from Costco for $330
