Fuzion, Sumitomo, Falken, Toyo are all good buys right now.
I like the Sumitomo HTRz.

Where are you located? If you're in Northern NJ I know a shop that excellent prices on Bridgestones. Mounted, balanced and disposal of the old set he was still cheaper than Costco. If you're in my neck of the woods shoot me a pm and I'll give you the number of the shop.

I'm running 15" and would love to have your number of options!! Friend of mine seems quite happy with Yokohama S-drive...I think they are pretty reasonable.
Me, I ended up going with Toyo Proxes T1Rs...holding up well to the few autocross events I've run them in. |

The service techs at my Costco did a great job, dont be fooled they hire well and pay well.
It ran me $630 can for Potenza RE760 Sport all in, the car runs great. |

I'm a Costco fan too--had them install the tires and have since been back for a rebalance. No problems at all.
I recommend waiting for the semi-annual Michelin sale. I run Pilot Sport A/S tires and they've been great. David

One more thing--they're just as scared about screwing up the tires as I am. They made an appointment for me and brought in their most experienced guy. I watched and was satisfied.

What are your intended uses?
If it is just general street dring, think about some BFG g-Force Sports. You cna get them at an attractive price and they come in Summer and All Season flovors. More sporty? Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec maybe?

Nice to hear good feedback regarding Costco, I plan to take my 15x6 there for the Potenza RE92.

I like the Bridgestone options. Pretty good tire. Usually can find the tire your looking for. Prices are not outrageous. I've run them on the Alfa (past) and now the Porsche, as well as the daily driver's. Never had a problem, pretty good wear life, dry and wet performance. But,.....In the winter I install the Blizzack's (Bridgestone) and then install the summer Bridgestones.

Galileo:
What do you want to spend? Once we have determined a price point we can explore your options. I just went with the Bridgestone RE 960(I think) and I am pleased as punch. I did have low line Dunlops prior, and the sidewall flex scared the bejesus out of me in the turns.

Budget-constrained as I am, I put Yokohama Advans on my car - a nice balance between performance, comfort and price. I've had them on other P-cars as well and for me, at least, they work quite nicely.
