Default narrowing down my options

05 AP2 - Daily driver, never autox or track, want low priced tires that will give decent traction but possibly last more than a year. Little to no spirited driving.

I've narrowed it down to these 4. Mainly for price, but also decent associations with the brand names. Shipping will be about $60.

Suggestions and comments welcome.

1. Sumitomo
HTR A/S P01 (W) - $394
2. Kumho
Ecsta ASX - $412.00
3. Dunlop
SP Sport Signature (W&Y) - $466.00
4. Goodyear
Eagle GT (W) - $466.00

Looks like the Sumitomo HTR A/S P01and Kumho ASX are lacking for wet grip. No reason to compromise there.

We have the Sport Signatures on my wife's Mazda3. Not bad for an all-season tire!

Eagle GT's look good, too.

Either of those two should be fine.

I'm leaning towards the Goodyears.

Continental ExtremeContact DWS - but I'm biased as I work for Continental.
