I'll probably go with some remolded tires (remoullés). A friend just did that, and it pretty damn cheap, and the tires looks great ! (he runs a 2.5RS with STI V2 drivetrain.. tires are for daily driving only of course, he has another set for track racing)
for comparison, a set of 225-50-16 Khumo Exsta 712, in a group-buy, costed me 613$ CAN installed, balanced, tax included.
My friend had his set of 205-55-16 "Techno Extreme" at 285$ CAN installed balanced, tax included. that's a good deal imo.
