How about the Yokohamas on tire rack? Priced right between these two and much longer tread life rating than either the Bridgestone or the Firestones.

They are 3lbs heavier, each, than the others, but part of saving cash on the tire choice is in its ability to last, for sure.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
