theyre cheaper than my 420 dollar Pilot sport 2's, and are not on the same par as handling and tread life. ive had my michelins on for a year, and they still have life on them with a decent amount of negative camber.
as for Faklen azenis and Dunlop Direzzas, those are great tires as well.
19 inch tires will almost always be over 220 dollars each. as i said michelins are almost double that and same with pirellis (luckily i dont pay for tires!!)

I'm running the Dunlop Direzzas. I've had them for 20k miles and have used them on the drag strip, and on my daily commute everywhere with some spirited driving thrown in. Its a very value orientated tire that performs well. It does get a little squirmy during wet road conditions however.

my dad owns a company in california (discount tire centers) I have been working at one of the locations for over 2 years now and I do know a thing or two about tires...your best bet would be Michelin cuz they offer best grip adn last longest, however if you dont wanna spend that much per tire, id say opt for either the dunlops or the falkens...
