I need tires for my TC!

Bought my turbo last year, under 20,000mi
Safetied it myself, all it needed was 2 tires - the front were bald, the rear near new. Im guessing they were never rotated. Anyways, I wasnt interested much in paying almost $350 ea(in canada from gm) for the oem continentals, and couldnt find many alternatives.
I went with Riken Raptor Z rated tires made in Indonesia.
They are noisy, have no rim guard, fairly ugly sidewall but only $130 each.

Can you guys suggest something that is either as good or better than the original conti's, but for less money?
Im keeping the riken's on the front to wear them down.

For a decent all season tire, consider the Hankook Ventus V4 or Goodyear Eagle GT. For summer only compounds, look at Hankook Ventus V12 Evo .....
