Go with the Conti. DW or Nokian Z (same tire) They handle great and are in your price range.

What do you guys think about the BFG Gforce KDW
http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/tire-selector/size/emetric/225/40/18/Y/g-force-t-a-kdw/tire-details

I have always been a fan of the way they look, just cool looking.

And since i can't seem to get Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 anymore (which were just outstanding tires, looked really cool too) i was thinking these.

I have 225/40R18 KDW's on my 240 and LOVE them. They have amazing grip but are a very soft, sticky tire that wears out quickly.

First few days...

So i have been running them for the past few days....

First notes...
Tires have a pretty stiff sidewall, slightly less than Eagle F1 GS-D3

Tires are super sticky, going down a road and rocks are always shooting out at the mud flaps

Grip well they sure can...
Tested on the same off ramp that goes to my house and i can easily add a few more mph's to my speed and tires dont budge or even make a sound.

Give me a few more weeks and i will update my findings.
