    check out FL8's tire thread and make sure you get LRR's. michelin makes some good ones but probably not budget friendly. don't make the mistake of cheap tires that cost in mpg's for the next 50,000 miles. don't know your location, but think about poor weather handling/traction as well.

    Michelin are great tyres but are expensive. Have a look at Hankook Kinergy Eco a really good LRR tyre at a good price especially if your on a budget, most of the Hankook tyre are LRR but the Kinergy is the lowest. They are also a very quite tyre with good road manners.
