Default 4 New Tires

I need an allignment bad and my tires were only suppose to be cheap temp walmart tires (ended up lasting me a year) so i'm looking for a set of 4 new tires that provide great traction in snow and in particular rain. I came across these on TireRack
185/65R14 Yokohama AVID TRZ Blackwall. They come out to be a little under $300 for all 4 including shipping. Any recommendations on other places i might go to find these tires cheaper. Or just recommendations in general for tires.

Hmmm, Sears is offering a sale on continental tires as well.

edit: Nevermind that seems to be only for SUV tires

I've got those one the RSX-s and love them. They're the first all-season tires the car has seen. Went through a Michigan winter with lots of snow and ice without any problems. I've got about 7,xxx miles on them already, waiting to see how they are in the heat. We'll be going to Charleston, SC at the end of the month, they're a lot quieter than any other tires I've had on the car. This car started life out with Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's and Dunlop WinterSport M3's and General Exclaims (not bad for the price), but when I was faced with replacing two sets of tires (winters and summers) I said the hell with it and went with the ContiExtremeContacts. No regrets thus far.
