everyone here is going to know things like

1) what is your car (daily, weekend warrior, autocross, etc)?

2) what kind of life are you hoping to get out of them?

3) what kind of budget are you on?

Otherwise, you can simply type in your tire sizes into any tire sales web site, and BAM you will have too many options to count.

Narrow down your needs and MANY people on this forum will have lots of information to aid in your decision.

The Sumitomo HTRZ III would be a much better handling tire than the General tire without giving up any tread life or wet traction. For the money they are hard to beat. You could also look at the Kumho MX. The MX is very good in the dry but will not be as good ride quality , wet traction or tread life.
If I can help let me know.

supposed to be a lot of bang for the buck...

... when I wear out my 615's, I think I am going to try the new dunlop direzza star specs.

BUT, for the money, I keep contemplating the sumi's.
