Yokohama AVS es100's and loving them. Great tires. Haven't tried them in the rain yet but when I was doing research I heard they were Coo.

Cost me $350 shipped, a little more expensive then the Azenis but I'd rather have the 'piece of mind' rolling safer in wet conditions and having a slightly higher wear rating. I would of loved the Azenis if they were better in those two areas.

I'm running Yoko YK420's. They are actually 'good ol' Yoko Avid's with a slighly different tread cut for better traction; gives them an AA rating. Discount Tire Centers sells them nationwide.

Falken tires are a good bet also. They are made by Goodyear. Falken and Goodyear have an agreement. Falken makes Goodyear tires for the jap market and Goodyear makes Falken tires for the US market.

If you want the best tires, and price is no object, go with Hoosiers. You better have deep pockets though...

I have HX rims, so I just went with the original factory size, P185/65R-14. I looked up Yoko YK420's on the Discount Tire web site in that size. They're 80 bones now, which is a little more than the regular Yoko Avid's in the same size, but worth the difference because of the AA-rating.

Here's my review, if you care...
