I had Nankang 205\'s on my last RX7 and they were really good, quite a soft compound and very sticky. Probably wear a bit quicker due to being a soft compound but for the price, you can\'t really go wrong.
Here\'s the type of thing...

I\'d use them again without hestitation.

they\'re a bit cheaper in the link someone posted above.

I think you will find that the price is each, as they seem to sell them in pairs .

I had yokohamas on my SA 2.6GT which I believe were the originals from Japan.
I did at leat 25k on those in 2 years and they had hardly worn at all, gripped like ***t to a blanket in all conditions.  My experience with these actually sent me on a mission and since then I always try to be yokos if I can get the size.  Might be expensive but well worth it for the safety factor in my book.

I have Yokohama\'s on my fb,good in wet & dry,fairly soft compound so less mileage than others but grippy!
I had a 300bhp dax cobra on yokohama,s as well,that stuck to the road like glue in dry,but still had to be careful in wet.[Rear end would err swivel,then swing round!]
Funnily enough i used to run BF Goodrich tyres on it,but they were,nt grippy enough,the compound was too hard,but lack of wear was good.
 
My yokohama\'s are S306 range & R rated.
In the £70 price range you have loads of choice.

I can\'t seem to find any Yokohama S306\'s in 205 60 13.....

@ John,
Just had a look at current yoko brochure on net,they don\'t do 205\'s in 13",my wheels are 14".
Looks like your only choice,nankang,falken,toyo,kumho.

1 of my above links is showing your size available but £94.37 each is pricey,their not the same as the ones i purchased,weird their not on yoko website,maybe discontinued old stock?
If i were you i\'d go with 1 of the 4 choices above.

Summitomo HTR200 205/60-13s very popular this side of the Pond - and cheap (here anyway @$70US ea). Love \'em on my SA. Just read that Pirelli is re-intro-ing 13" P-3 model, tho pricy I\'d bet...

We don\'t seem to have Sumitomos over here - but the reports on American websites do sound good so I will carry on looking.
