General UHP Tires.
Well, I just had the front two RunFlats replaced with General UHPs. I must say, the difference is astounding. The car rides better, turns in smoother, follows the trenches in the road much less and are much quieter. Both tires + mounting / balancing cost me $260. If anyone is looking for a nice cruising tire, I'd recommend these. I can't say how well they react compared to something like the Michelin PS2, but for everyday driving and until I can afford some higher end performance tires, they'll get the job done.

I bought all 4 General UHP tires from Tire Rack. They do handle better than the run flats, and are a lot quieter. They actually hook up fairly well, and got rid of my wheel hop problem. Good tire for the price.

General and Avon tires are extremely low-priced, high-performance tires. Are they in the same league as the Goodyear GSD3s, BF Goodrich KD2s, or Michelin PS2s? Probably not, especially at 8/10s driving or better but if you don't drive very aggressively or cannot afford the best, they represent a perfectly acceptable choice.
