Default what do you recommend?

I need new tires on my S. Orignal tires are the Bridgestone Potenza RE050,

which i thought were fantastic. I only got 15K out of them until I parked my car,

turned the wheel and noticed that the inside part of my tire is balding.

So get on tirerack.com, the tires are gonna cost me $177 for the front & $207

for the rear. I was wondering if you guys knew of any other good tires

compareable to the Potenza RE050. Of course, cheaper would be better but I dont

want to pay for cheap tires and get cheap value. So I dont mind getting the

RE050s again because for the performance.

I havent tracked my car yet, So I dont need Super Extreme grip tires, but I

really do like the RE050s. So I was wondering what you guys can recommend

throughout your experiences. All I do is commute driving n every now n then I go

through twisties!

Thanks guys

Dunlop Direzza Z1 Sport Star Specs are getting some good reviews. I just put on a set to replace Bridgestone RE750s, but only have about 200 miles of mostly freeway driving. They're quieter then the RE750s and the OEM RE050s and seem to grip quite well, but I haven't pushed them and it hasn't rained to try them in the wet.

toyo t1r is suprisingly good quality for it's price, imo. my rear doesn't screech in a fast turn as before, but i've only had it for about 6k miles.
