Lots of good tires on the market, problem is the big end of the year sales for road tires ended in early September. Shop Performance, Nashbar, Price Point etc and find the best percentage off deal you can find then read the reviews, if the reviews are good chances are the tire is good. Ripple in the UK has the best prices on Continental tires, but you'll need to spend at least $55 (I think that's the limit) to qualify for the huge cuts.
