Its about that time for me to get some new rears. I am just going to go with new tires all the way round. I dont want cheap quality, but I don?t want to spend an arm and leg either. I was told the Falken 452's were a good bang for the buck. Does anyone have any feedback about them or any others? Also a good place online to get some. Thanks

Falken 452's - very good
General Exclaim - best value
Michelin Pilot Sports - not cheap but grippy as hell ( I have these)
Verdestiens - apparently good, expensive but good from what I've read from other members.

But if you get the real Vredestein. They are awesome.

Out of curiosity, how much are they for a set of 19's?

I posted this in another thread...
Car and Driver just did a new tire comparison. They compared 9 tires to the Pilot Sport PS2 (the benchmark).

C&D do tire tests reguarly 
I'm looking at Potenza RE960 A/S myself - reviews are pretty good.
