Im only going to drive it in dry conditions so just in the summer time. I want a good gripping tire. Up to 500 dollars. There only going to be used on pavement.
Check out Tire Rack, they have a good selection of max performance summer tires listed with buyer feed back. I've been using Bridgestone Potenza SO3's.
Might change to Yokohama Advan's because of tire size availability.

Gaboon is right, the decent tires start at $175 each. Mine were in the $205-220 each range. If you can increase your budget, I'd recommend Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's, Toyo T1R's, and Toyo R1R's. I run the first two currently.
Around 600 at the most, I will look around at all these tires you guys listed and make my decision. Thanks fellow supra owners.

Goodyear F1 GS-D3's FTW! Those tires were so sticky on my MR2, I just hope I can afford them again for my Supra! No direct Supra experience with them yet, but they will be going on my Supra.
Totally depends on your definition of "decent" or "good".
If you're going to track it every now and then, or if you're pushing 400+ to the wheels then sure, get the top of the line tire.
Otherwise, if you're using it as a daily, even just a summer only daily, you don't need the Michelin Primacy's or the P-Zero Pirelli's. You'll be fine with plenty of the $100-150 tires.
Of course size will play a huge role in this too. Using the stock size tires are cheaper than say an 18" size or a 17x8" tire.
I've been eyeing the BF Goodrich T/A KDW's for my next summer tire purchase...

+1 to these. for the price, they are tough to beat. Not the lightest tire mind you...
This has been covered a few times. These should help you.
