I guess it depends on what you want or define as "good tires." Do you want a long lasting, good street tire or do you want something that's a little more sticky and not gonna last as long?

I first has Falken Ziexs. They were ok, but I found they wore down a little too quick. They also blew out too easily. Now Ive got Yokohama Parada Spec 2s for the summer. I only drove a few days with them , but they felt pretty good. Very grippy and seemed more durable than the Ziexs.

got em for free, they came with my parts car. The Falkens though were like around $100 each. Check ebay, you might be able to find a good deal on new tires there.

Yokohama Parada Spec 2s are great and within your price range, like 20 bucks more. I'd get those.

Im pretty sure they are 205/45/16, but you could go with 205/40/16 if you wanted a lower profile tire.
