Didn't want to start a new thread just yet, but looking for some Tire advice now.

I'm sticking with 17" and Michelin, Continental & BF Goodrich seem nice, but also seem to be almost twice the cost. Before I jump into them, wanted to see how some other, 2nd tier brands are, like Toyo, Hankook, Sumitomo, Falken, etc.

I'm only interested in city driving. Lately it has been raining a bit here so that is definitely one concern; wet roads performance.

I do understand the top tier (Michelin, etc.) will probably last longer; but would like to compare other aspects, given the major cost difference.

Thanks!
