Default Tires for 16" Rota Slipstream

I'm looking for summer tires for 16x7" Rota slipstreams. Again-- these are only on after all of the crappy weather passes.. so I am really looking for something that won't give me a lot of road noise, grip on hard corners, not wear too fast, and atleast allow me to drive in the rain. Though, I'm not too concerned about performance in the rain.. as long as they keep me alive.

These are going on a 97EX with about a 2" drop.

I had Yokohama AVS ES100 205/45 16 and loved em.

Those parada spec II's look good too, I had the old AVS which look almost exactly alike to the parada's and loved those too.

They both kinda wore quick though, but I quess its how you drive.

I'm normally not an agressive driver, but just like everyone else I like to be able to hug turns and get on it a bit . Any suggestions from anyone else? How about the Proxe4s? Any opinions?

I like the Bridgestone RE-730's, but they discontined them. I heard the new RE's are great and I'm looking into those.

here's some pics of the tires on my old slipstreams...

205/45/16




and a pic of them on the car...



i haven't done any road course events, but i have driven on them rough in the mountains, as well as in the rain, the wet traction is impressive considering the dry traction is as good as it is.
