Help me deciede on tires

I drive a 01 prelude and im in need Of some new tires, suggestions welcome!

1. Go to tirerack.com and buy some Pirelli PZero Nero M&S tires for $423.40/or something else you recommend/ and get the mounted and ballanced locally... Does anyone know how much this usually costs?

or

2. Go to discount tire locally and buy some COOPER ZEON 2XS for $467.64/or/ Yokohama AVS ES100 for $445.95, mounted and ballanced for free.

Im guessing the pirelli's are gonna be about 470 after mount and ballancing, but i do not know...

I need to get new tires soon because i got an appointment at our allignment place for monday

In addition to the other question how long does it usually take to recieve the tire from tirerack?

i would just go with discount tire. that way if you have any problems you get it taken care of free and not have to pay everytime you need something. plus discount tire can get the pirellis just because they dont have it in the store doesnt mean they cant get it in a day or two

The tires currently on my 02 are Hankook Ventus HR-II. I have about 53,000 miles on them, and could probably stretch them out some more, but 18's will be going on in the next couple of weeks though!!

Another choice that I would recommend is the Fuzion ZRi tires. They are cheap & great for the price. Great dry traction & good wet traction. It's definitely the best tires for its price. It's also pretty quiet too. Tire Rack carries them. Fuzion tires are made by Bridgestone.

Oh really? Currently my Prelude has the 205/55 16 Fuzion ZRi tires & I probably put about 10,000-15,000 miles on it. The thread is still good so far. I had the Potenza S-02 before this one & it lasted me around 30,000 miles approximately. I guess it depends on the size & the way it's been use because a friend of mine had the Potenza S-02 also & his lasted longer than mine.
