Default tire recommendation please

Might anyone be able to provide a recommendation for tires for my 1992 Accord EX coupe? I recently moved to Oregon. I have been running both summer and winter tires, but for this go around, I would prefer an all season tire that has good wet traction, but handles well. Tread life and expense are less important than good handling. Any thoughts?

Well... you gotta know what kind of compound is on the tire to know what kind of handling and life it will have.
I used to have a set of bridgestones potenzas, they were soft, and wore out quickly, on the other hand, i could tell they would grip on the floor more than the previous set of tyres.
Then, i've upgrated to toyo proxes 4, and i really liked them, because they're quieter, last longer and still have a great grip.

Potenzas are awesome. But yea, they do wear too fast because I believe they have a softer compound. I am currently on Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S. I love them. Quiet, a good ride, they grip really well, awesome on wet also. Check out the reviews. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/...A%2FS
