Default Tyre Choices

Okay - rear tyres are getting thin and I'll will have to replace very soon.

Given up on an authentic tyre due to the 16" Dragway's so looked into the following (in no particular order).

Prices based upon per tyre with size 245/45 x 16 x 8" rims:

Toyo Proxes T1-R @ $249

Dunlop SP Sport 2000E @ $175

Hankook Ventus K102 @ $210

Falken 451 @ $279 (existing tyre); and

Goodrich Profiler @ $269

Basically the Cobra is used for dry weather only and therefore not concerned too much about wet grip.

Of the above the Toyo seems to have the most aggressive tread, but the Hankook's do seem well priced.

Has anyone got any advice of those which are a good buy (and probably more importantly those which are not)?

Thank you
