Eddie, I always look to Tire Rack when I shop tires, 90% of the time I have been happy with my choice after using their data.
Passenger All Season
Standard Touring All Season
Gran Touring All Season
High Performance All Season
Now the Bridgestone RE92s mentioned previously are listed under High Performance and I'll let you see the survey results and decide for yourself.
Look over the charts and find something near the top that is available and isn't expensive as heck. I use these prices from Tire Rack to help determine what the "Real" cost is of a particular tire since Tire Rack sells with very low margins compared to most.
Once I decide on a tire and have the price, I figure another $100 to mount & balance and $50 for profit/shipping. Then I call around and see who'll give me the best price for that 1 particular set of tires. This way you avoid a ton of confusion.
In my mind I want the best value in a tire that performs well in quietness first, then handling, then snow (I travel up north a lot), then ride comfort, then rolling resistance. What good is an economical tire if it's expensive and you hate how it performs.
It looks to me like the General Altimax RT43 would be the best value. It's in the Standard Touring area.
Good luck. Hope this helps, I know you're half a world away.
