I am getting my new Volks Racing TE-37, but I don't really know what am I gonna let it wear... as far as I consider, Yoko AVS, Potenza S0-2PP, P-Zero, and Dunlop SP9000. So, can you guys give me some idea which one will be better for me to go with? Of course, money&performance are 2 most important issues here. Let me know what you guys think.. Thanks!!

I would suggest doing a search on these tires as there has been a lot of discussion about many types. Hopefully you will get some direct feedback as well.

I've heard the Yoko AVS Intermediates (not the Sports) are a good choice since they are a very sticky tire like the OEMs. And they are priced right too!

SP9000 are a great all around All season tire with superb handling grip and noise factors on my larger Acura. I love the wet traction on these tires and the dry traction has been grear too. But, I dont think it stands up to the S02's.
The PP's are good from what I've heard, with a little sacrafice compared to stock in dry conditions, but makes up for it in wet conditions.

Good luck.

I can't speak for the P-zero's but SP9000's are not as good in the dry as SP8000's. And I believe SP8000's are worse in the dry as our SO2's. I'd love to hear any P-zero comparo's.
