If you are looking for a set of great tires for around 400 bucks I would take a look at Tire Rack, The Sumitomo's HTRZ II are a great set for the money in stock sizes.

Explain more about these tires never heard of them. Are they good in dry and wet condition? Do they wear fast?

I like them for the money, I got about 30,000 miles on my first set, I could of gotten more if I would of allined my car after I lowered it. Great summer tire, OK in the rain, No good in the snow. Quite, Smooth riding. Do a search on Tire Rack for them and read up on them. Are there better tires, You bet, But if you are on a budget these will get you buy for a few years.

Hello, I have Falken FK-452 in the stock sizes (17,18) and really like them for my daily driver. They seem to be wearing well and much quieter than the stock runflats. Not sure about pricing as I bought them 1.5yrs ago. Just check TireRack or Discount Tire, you can check prices & read reviews on there to help answer your questions.
