Default Which tires

I might be picking up a set of 1998-2000 LS400 16 inch wheels off a member here, and my Contis are almost done for, I racked up 25K on them already. I plan on going to a 215/55-16 tire, and my choices are so far:
BFGoodrich Traction TA
BFGoodrich Touring TA Pro Series from Costco
Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S
Toyo Proxes TPT
Bridgestone Potenza RE960 or Turanza LS-H/LS-V

I need a tire with good treadlife, and that handles well. Wet traction is a priority for those NorCal winters, so I don't want tires like the Michelin MXV4 series.

I'm running Turanza LSH in 225/60/16 on my 92 stock rims. LLLOOOVVVEEE this tire. Very quiet, handles well, great tread life, and mileage warranty in off the hook. Have run Turanza's on previous cars before without ever a problem. Needing to put tires on rims soon, too bad I haven't seen this tire in an 18" size.

P.S. picture was taken hours before signature mods were done
