most auto-x'ing pple swear by Azenis as the best bang for the buck, but beware its summer only tires...and have moderate->poor traction on water, i currently have the Yoko AVS intermediates and are awesome tires, but after 5 months the front are down to 30% tread and rear are down to 50% tread i got them for x-mas!!! the tire wear is 160, so you might want to take that into consideration
