Default Tires and Rims

I have to replace the tires on my 92 sc400. A couple of questions:

I currently have snow tires on and need new spring/summer/fall tires. Nothing exotic ie. good all round grip, low noise etc and mid price range. The current tires were Toyos and I had no issues with them. Any suggestions?? Where would be the best place to shop for them. I live in Toronto.

An alternative is to buy another set of tires and rims and leave the snows on the OEM 10 spoke 16x7 rims. I have heard the GS 17" are a nice alternative. Any idea where to look for these and ideas as to cost for rims and tires?

Thanks
