Pick what Tire Poison
I have been in search of a street tire at around 100. That market has all but dried up.
Here is what I found: N3000 - OnlineTires.com OR Roadstone N3000 245/45 R16 94W - tires-easy.com Feedback welcomed.

The Toyo Proxis 4 is about $115. I'm on my second set. I like em. Since I'm in San Diego, I can't recommend them for snow, or even rain. It never rains in Southern California.

Tire Rack has Bridgestone RE-11's in 245/45x16. $225 each. Great tire and not some no name / El Cheapo manufacturer.

Bridgestone RE760. Just over $100, just about anywhere.

The name "RoadStone" doesn't provide a lot of confidence. Nevertheless, in 5 pages of tire reviews, I couldn't find a review for the 245-45-16 size. Not sure a different size on a different car can be accurately compared.
The Toyos are good but not as available. It looks like ES-100 are very available. Unfortunately, Bridgestone has priced them as a limited-availability product at $200+. Sherwood |

BFG G-Force Sport Comp-2. Tire Rack has 215/55-16s for $104 each, and smaller sizes cost even less. Have had these on 205/55-15 on my 912 (7-inch rims) for two years and really like them.

well.. since this is my beater 911 I'm gong to cheap out with the "RoadStone". I too looked at a few reviews and who knows... it's probably all propaganda
 Test reports for car summer tyres Roadstone - N3000 I will report back in a few months here.

same as Nexen
Where did you buy them?
I need tires and like the 225/45-16 and 245/45-16 on my 7 & 9s that they offer. Since they are just for the street and they are only $100 each, I'm interested.
