Probably the best budget tires.
They are 85-90% the performance of PSS for half the price.

I'm using these on the i8 and Michelin PSS on the M6. The Firehawks are about 95% as good as the PSS in the i8 application in the dry and about even in the rain. I wouldn't try them on the M6 because I like the stability of the PSS at the speeds the M6 can reach.
