I have falken 512s in that size. I got em for 389 as a set of 4 on ebay. Great price and IMO a great all season high performance tire.

Sumitomo HTR+ All season high performance tire. Nice smooth ride, great handling and you can keep them on all year long even in the snow. Best yet is the price @ around 90/tire. They get my vote for the best bang for the buck!

For performance, I love my Sumi HTR+. Absolutely great. I paid I think $104 from NTB. They just wear unevenly (heavy wear in the middle, lighter going outwards). That's the only reason I wouldn't buy them again.
