Default Need fresh tires

Currently I have 245 40 19 Bridgestone SO2's but I need new ones, their is less than 50% thread left.

Which shuld I get? Where?

I checked out costco and found BridgestoneŽ Potenza S03 245/40ZR19 $302, MichelinŽ Pilot Sport A/S 245/40R19 $331

That stuff is expensive! I really do not want to spend a $1k

yes i just got a set from da man brandon 2 weeks ago.. i came from bridestone pole so3 , (exceptional tire for high perf only if you are hearing impaired , to much damm noise) , then i had the goodyear f1 gs-d3 (the best tire i have ever had in terms of balance , road free, comfort wet grip and no noise even as the wore down, the only problem is that i wanted 285 in the rear which goodyear does not offer and the goodyears in the rear did not like running at speeds of over 100 on the hot florida roads , they wore out after 9k miles while the fronts have about 60% left) now the dunlaps have made me very very happy thus far.. very very smooth riding tire .they grip like no tomm (of course you will realize this after about 300 miles of scrubbing them) they are not quite as quiet as the goodyears but the diff if not that big...in the rain ohh boy , they stick equal to if not better then the goodyears and living in south florida i do know alittle something about rain
