I purchased BFGoodrich Comp T/A HR4 Generation 2 tires last 
year for my E30.  They are size 195/60 HR14 and I'm very 
happy with them.  They are rated Treadwear-360, Temperature-
A, Traction-A.  The price was right at $62 each.  This month I 
saw an advertised (Road and Track Magazine) price of $58 for 
the same tires. 

I use these tires when I autocross and often beat other cars 
in my class that are equipped with racing tires.  (When I 
showed up at an autocross last weekend, one of the participants 
pointed at my car and stated "There's that sleeper BMW!".)

TIP:
Get the cheapest advertised price from Discount Tire as 
printed in the latest Road & Track Magazine.  Cut out the 
advertisement and take it to your local discount tire chain 
(like Tire America).  They will meet or beat the advertised 
price and you'll save on freight too.
