Looking for new tires, but on a budget

I need your help guys. I want to put some new tires on a set of staggered AMGs i borrowed from my brother in law. I would like some recommendations as to what brands are available out there, considering I have a very limited budget.
I have read a lot of posts, praising Michelin Pilots, unfortunately I can't afford the Pilots nor the Bridgestones.
I was thinking more in the lines of Falken 451s, or the ST115s. Any other brands within this range?
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your replies.
The AMGs are 17", and I will be running 225/45 (front) and 245/40 (rear).

I will look for quotes on the T1s. Have you tried them?
