Not sure what type of tire you're looking for but under the maximum performance lable,the Bridgestone RE050A is a very good tire--again, I think tire rack is closing out that tire but I think the real good deals were on the 17" sizes.
If I were in the market for decent--not great 18" tire for street use, I'd look at the Kumho SPT. Very good wet weather capability with good dry weather stats and not too expensive. Also, the BFG g-force sport gets good marks for an inexpensive tire.

Yeah that $400 was for two rears, mounting, balancing, valestems, and road hazard warranty. It's still a good deal. The tires themselves were in the neighborhood of $275 each last year.

I am running the Bridgestone Potenza 050As. I dig 'em. Kind of expensive though...
