New Tire Suggestions?

Hey guys, i need some suggestions for new tires for my Formula 350. i have a limited budget (preferebly under $130 per tire). They don't hafta be ultra high performance or anything, just have good tread wear, good performance, and good wet traction, etc.
Tire Size:
245/50R-16

Check out Kuhmo ECSTA 712's. Here is a link to them on tirerack: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/kumho/ku_712.jsp . I am currently using them on the front of my car, and I am very happy with them. Excellent wet traction, sometimes I can run through large puddles of water and hardly feel it. Pretty cheap, too, $86 bucks a tire.

I have Viper ZX performance radials on my camaro rs 245/50/16. I got these from sears and they cost me 130 a tire they're z rated and hook up at the track good after a small burnout.

Michelin makes some good all-season/high perf. tires in that price range. I've always preferred them on cars and BF Goodrich on my trucks. Check out the tire rack like AW Z suggested.
