Falken 612's about $160 a tire
OR
Nitto INVO's about $150 a tire
falkens are alittle more hardcore from what i have read, i have the nitto's and i love them. either is a good choice

No such thing as a Falken 612. It's the RT-615. Those would be a good choice. There are threads in this forum within the last few months asking your exact question, please use the search button before posting a new thread.
subatomicparticle - Are you really suggesting that this guy get r888's for daily driving and a couple of auto-x a year? That is probably the worst suggestion I've heard all year. If you daily drive on r888's, that's the biggest waste of a tire ever.

Sumitomo HTR Z III's. They are superb for daily driving and should be able to withstand an event or two. I believe I paid $120ish per tire when I got mine (245/40/18). I'm not a tire guru, but they stick to the road like glue.
