Tire Reccomendations?

i'm in need of some new tires for my 18 inch x5 sport wheels. I go into the snow about 2-3 times a year so snow performance is not on the top of my list. i usually do the bay area freeway travel so something that is stable w/ lo road noise will be nice. Lowest price/performance would be my priority.

I'm looking to order from tirerack, or discount tire.

I went with toyos because of price and feedback on this forum...I have found them to be a worthy tire, the flat spots when the car sits for any length of time take some getting used to....Price is right for the toyos as well as rain performance...A little loud on dry...Hope this helps...

Stock spring rates and damper valving are set around the stock tires. And the stock Michelin's are quiet and last a ridiculously long time.
