Time to pick tires
I had my winter blizzacks switched over to my original eagle GT+4s today. Alas, only one year old, the eagles have only about 6 months tops left in them, so I'm gonna autoX on them a few times before replacing them.
Ride comfort and quietness are very important to me, so Ive narrowed it down to two tires:
225/55/16 Dunlop SP 9000 @$101
or
225/60/16 Yokohama AVS dB @$98
Very reasonable prices from tirerack.com I must say.
What would all you people reccomend, the pros and cons of each?
Durability is also a factor to some extent (these eagles only lasted 20K miles...)

I'll have to think about it... obviously performance with the goodyears will be better, but only if ride comfort and quietness are also better will I splurge the extra $$$ and get them. Keep that feedback coming.

Toyo Proxies t1-s. Love them... Great in wet and dry condition. Looks great, i don't like how some tires so edgy, proxies have a nice curve to them. Low road noise. Only thing is that they don't last too long and they are very pricey..
