the end of winter draws near. This means its almost time to take off the snow tires and put the 18's back on. before i do this though i desperately need new tires. so my question is which tires would you guys recommend (i live in WA with lots of rain) for $500/all 4 tires

Im thinking about these:
Nitto NT NeoGen ZR (http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/findTireDetail.do?rc=WASINT&yr=1999&cf=false&c=1&sw=false&pc=40223&rf=true&rcz=98006&mk=MERCEDES%25252520BENZ&cs=225&dVeh=dVeh&vid=006242&rd=18&ar=40&ct=)

Im thinking you should pay more money for tyres and not buy junk for $500.

I love my Toyo Proxes. They're not expensive either - about $150 for the 255/35/18 rears.

what do you guys think of the Yokohama Parada Spec 2's ? looks cool, not expensive either. low profile tires wear out pretty fast and especially with my driving style, so why waste money on rubber ?

Hm... Since I am getting some 18's soon. I plan on putting Toyo Proxes 4's on them or Toyo T1R or Falken FK-452's. What do you guys think? My friend has Toyo Proxes 4's and he says they have very good handling.
