Need Info on buying tires

I don't know where to post this but I need some info on some tires. I was looking at these Sumitomo SRIXON4. They are like $68 a piece on TireRack.com What do yall have on your rides that I could afford right now.. Now I have the Eagle GT II's. They are expensive and I don't have the cash but just let me know your opinions and maybe give me a link to a web site.

I run Z-rated Bridgestone tires, some models are fairly affordable

Sumitomo seems to make really good, affordable tires (for practical everyday driving and partially spirited). I just order a pair for my camaro last night. Should be here by Wed. I have some discontinued(?) HTR4's on my 'bird. IIRC, they were $74 at the time and for the price, some of the best cheap tires I've ever bought. The most noted performance feature I liked about them is they had great wet traction compared to the BFG Comp T/a's I used to be dedicated to.
I'm hoping these new ones are similar in wet performance as what's on the 'bird. I know, at least, they can't be as bad as the current p.o.s. tires the camaro is rolling on now.

Kumho Ecsta's are very affordable and I'm quite impressed with mine......

Wow.. they were on the doorstep when I got home just a little while ago... speedy delivery!
For the price, they appear to be some really nice tires. Time to dispose of the old ones
