Default Kuhmo 712s, Falken Azenis, or Yokohama Paradas?

OK.. I need a final opinion... Kuhmo 712s, Falken Azenis or Yokohama Parada Spec-2s in 205/40/16 or 205/45/16s. I think I'm gonna go for the Rota Slipstreams and I just wanted some opinions on tires. Let me know. Thanks!

What are they going to be used for? That makes a difference as well.

Azenis does not come in a 205/45x16" and the 215/45x16" will rub pretty bad.

The Kumhos in my opinion will be much better overall than the Paradas, which are known to be RICER tires. They hydroplane, they don't grip, etc...

Definately checkout Tire Rack... they've got great prices and excellent customer service. I think they sell all three tires.
