I know you probably don't want other suggestions...but...

If you are looking for a cheap but good tire check out Riken Raptors. I have them and couldn't be happier.

I had Falken 512s on another car, and they were great in the wet and dry(handling and ride), but they got very noisy after I had them on about 10000 miles... Sounded like they had a flat spot or were out of balance. Rode just fine and handled good, but made a bunch of noise? Pretty good value other than that.

I have a set on my Tbird, I think they are ZE512's, they seem pretty good, great handling and decent traction, but since the sidewall is so stiff, the rides a little harsh. Oh yea you can't beat the price either. I would probably buy again.

My buddy had a set on his camero and said the traction sucked. However a good cheap tire that he has used was Fuzion ZR1. They have the same tread patern as the Nitto 555 and Bridgestone Potenza which I personally like. However Bridgestone isa little more expensive than the Fuzion. I alsohave a buddy that uses Firestone Wide Oval on his 02 TA that puts 480 RWHP N/A and shoots a 150 Dry shoot. He seems to like them just fine. I hope this helps.

Falkens are super cheap tires, if you want a set to burn off theyre perfect for it. Just spend the extra cash and get some decent tires. BFG G-force tires are pretty cheap www.tirerack.com
