$100 each..
Lol, Don't bother in that kind of price range.
Double it to get where you need to be.
I got my Falken FK452s for like $180 each or so. I rate them so far :) Only just starting to wear now. Very very good in the wet for the first chunk of their life.

Yep you pay for a good tyre. The Difference between a GDS3 and a $200.00 tyre is massive. If I was running a $200 tyre all round I wont notice a difference but I did have at once stage 3 GDS3's and 1 $200.00 tyre. Think it was a Dunlop or something. I could slam my brakes on at 60kmh and make the cheaper tyre lock up. The amount of times I've brakes hard and the times it locked up was ridiculous. I ended up changing it strait away! Tad expensive for a 17inch tyre but they have saved my arse heaps.

I got Eagle F1 directionals which replaced the GDS3 and it's an even better tyre, and the noise level is very low. Paid $580 for 4! Win!

Directionals definitely a step up from the GDS3.
