I have a Mondy XR5 and have run the folowing:

Continental SC2 (OEM)
Pirelli P Zero
Bridgestone Potenza RE001
Vredstein Ssanta (225/40)
Yokohama Advan V103 Sport
Michelin PS3

I would rate the Michelin & Yohohama as the best (hard to split them really), then Pirelli, Continental, Bridgestone and Vredstein in decreasing order for performance.

I have not yet been able to get more than 20k out of a set of tyres. Although i do occasionally track my car, i wouldn't consider the driving i do to be anything more than normal everyday driving.

as for price, can't tell you exactly as it's a lease car and i just leave it with Bob Jane's with worn tyres and they give it back shod, ready to go... i don't think i've paid under $300/corner yet though...

All my choices have been based on road holding performance rather than longevity or price.
