I am looking into buying 4 new tires soon and have a few choices in mind. I don't need anything totally performance oriented, but would like something that is decent, with nice life, a nice looking tread pattern, and a decent price. My size is 215-60-15.

All prices are from Discount tire. (I have to buy from there, because I have a credit card from them.)

Yokohama Avid H4S - $72.00 each

Falken Ziex ZE-512 - $75.00 each

Dunlop SP Sport A2 Plus - $84.00 each

Yokohama YK420 -$85.00 each

The max I can spend is around $500. Any input or suggestions?

Myself I would go for the Avid H4S's. Avids are a good all around tire.

That's what I read about them also.

Think I am going with the Yokohama Avid H4S they seem to be what I am looking for.
