I really think I am going to go witht those Hankook tires that are mentioned on here. They seem to get pretty great reviews, very affordable, and when I was stationed in Korea we actually got a chance to visit a Hankook plant and we were amazed at all of their quality control measures.

I recently got the Continential ExtremeContact DW tires. I am very pleased with them.

I just put the Hankooks on my 2001 cpe. What a difference in the noise level from the G/Y runflats! I can't really speak to the handling since I'm not a very accomplished driver, but they felt very good on the Dragon's Tail. ( There is also a $60 rebate going on right now )
I had them mounted at a friend's shop and did the Hunter Roadforce balance - smooooth.
