Best 18 inch tires to purchase for the CLtypeS

The weather is getting better here so i'm thinking about putting my 18 inch rims back on the coupe. Unfortunately I need to purchase 2 new tires. I have try Michelin & Wanli both were ok but I really need some tires that rides a little better but doesn't cost over 140 a piece. Any suggestion. I did a search but nothing helpful came up.


help!

And why are you only buying TWO?
If you properly rotated them they should all wear out at the same rate.
And don’t switch brands/styles if you’re only getting TWO.

One my Wanli tires have a very bad inside cut. So I figure I'll replace the front 2. I see no reason to purchase 4 new tires when I have 3 tires that are basiscally new. Plus the cl is fwd anyway.
