Default A tire question( I know, I know...just look)

So I need to get a set of tires to get the car back on the road until I get new rims. I think I'm going to go with the fuzions per the recommendations of people here but the price of the sumitomos looks nice. What is the opinion between the two...is the fuzion worth the little bit of extra money? Second...who has the best price right now? Seems that some of the people here are tire dealers. I would rather my money go to a member. I know tirerack is a sponsor...any special deals for rennlisters? Let me know what people think. I'd like to put new tires on next weekend. Thanks for everyone's help. I'm tired of combing through search results.

Cheers, Josh

I just bought Fuzions and have about 4k miles on them and so far can find nothing wrong with them. I have not pushed the car or done any kind of DE/Autocross, but so far I firmly believe I got my money's worth......

Ive got the sumitomos and I think there great for the money, but Ive never had fuzions so I cant compare.

Yokohama AVS ES 100's are fairly performant and cheap.

Fuzions are pretty good tires but dont have nearly the grip my Michelins had.
