While it is more expensive, it does offer a MUCH longer tread life than the other tires mentioned; your cost per mile driven on the tire will be lower provided you never need to prematurely replace the tire. The sidewall construction of the RE-11 is superior to the RS3, and even the Z1SS, providing you with feedback without giving you a harsh ride. As a plus, they don't roar like Z1SS until they get really low on tread life.
Discount Tire Direct and America's Tire typically has a Bridgestone sale once or twice a year where you can get a $80 or $100 rebate on these...
If you're talking non-EHP tires, then none of them really offer spectacular feedback, and I'd recommend Hankook V12 as the best "bang for the buck" tire as of this post. I'm sure this will change, as that segment is where the manufacturers compete heavily.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not looking at any specific range of tires, other then I would like summer tires. I'm basically just looking for "learning" tires that can give me the best feedback on how the car handles. I've heard the Hankook V12 get greasy very fast. Last thing I want would be a tire that is prone to snap easily.
I'll look more into the RE11. I didn't think it was the right tire for me but maybe later it's the best option.
