Dude, I don't don't know if its too late for this advice, but the Yokahama avids are relly good. I used a 205/60/16 HR for the winter (wanted the extra inch of ground clearence for the snow) and those bad boys pulled me when the under-carriage was scraping in the snow! Extremely quiet ride!! Very absorbing. Since I do a lot of miles, I was going to go 205/55/16 VR for the summer. I like my radio, and spend 85% of the time driving to/from work and the grocery store!
