I got a set of Nikko Roadhuggers for $650 for the set.
I intended to get a brand that I had more experience with but the salesman talked me into trying these out. Saved $200 or so compared to a set of Michelins.
They are slightly taller than the factory tires which REALLY seems to help with the stiffness of the ride.
I do however think I lost 1-2mpg or the mpg reading is off bc of the larger radius tires.

Depends what you are looking for in a tire. Max mpg? max treadwear? max grip? snow traction? MXV4's are pretty good all-around tires, which is why they cost more. Cheaper tires compromise one thing or another, which may or may not be important to you. Those Goodyears will probably give you a smooth quiet ride, but don't take corners too hard and give yourself plenty of room to brake.

Check out Tirerack.com for owner ratings on all kinds of tires, and pick the one that scores highest on the things most important to you.

i decided to go with Michelin Defenders. had a good deal on rebate with sears - spend 725 after all rebates, that included alignment. i do notice my MPG has improved with these tires. even though they are new still.
