Default Non-Lexus tire question

It's for my dad' s Toyota Cressida, and it needs new tires. I looked up prices on tirerack.com, Wal-Mart, Costco, and Sears. I'm kinda leaning towards the Kumho AS 793s at $33/tire, but my dad wants to stay brand name, Goodyear if possible, and Wal-Mart sells Goodyear Integritys for $50/tire.
What out of these tires would you recommend?

Kumho Touring 793
Yokohama Avid Touring
Goodyear Integrity
BFGoodrich Revelation(Sears only tire, Costco sells a similar tire)

Question

What is the exact size of tire he needs? & what does he look for as far as a good tire is concerned?

He has 185/70-14 on there, Toyota specs 195/70-14. He just wants a tire that will last, but i told him traction/handling is also something to look at.

Have a look at www.tirerack.com or www.tiretrends.com There should be a good selection of tires in the size he needs......consider Toyo, Yokohama, Falken & Michelin (michelin is a bit pricy however).
