You might try the Tire Rack. I caught a pair of Michelin 255/50r16 Pilots on sale for $95 each. Got them shipped, mounted and balanced for $240 for the pair.

i like cooper cobra g/ts myself, cheap and a hard tread (nothing for rain or snow but excellent dry traction).

215/65/15s cost me $60 per tire

and the 275/60/15s i wanna stick on the backs are only about $90 a tire.

i have a discontinued potenza on my car and i don't like it at all. its a max 35 psi where my other 3 are cooper cobras with max 44 psi (i run em at 40psi). and i notice that the potenza likes to schreech and chip over any hard turning or braking. but thats only my opinion of em.

I'm happy with my BGF Traction T/A's. Got them at Sears. I did quite a bit of checking on prices before I bought tires and their price was very close to TireRack's once you figure in shipping. Plus they can order pretty much any tire for you.
