Tire and Vendor Feedback

I'm going to be buying new tires and rims soon and need some feedback on the vendor as well as tires. The tires I'm planning on getting are:

Yokohama Avid Touring (Blackwall) 205/65SR15

Are these good all-season tires? The reviews at Tirerack.com seem to speak highly of them. I'm an average driver although I'm known to be aggressive at times.

I need some feedback on the vendor (Tirerack.com) as well. Are they good or shady? TIA.

Tirerack is a good company to order from. Too bad they don't carry Falkens

Avid touring are GREAT. I had 3 sets on different cars over the years. one lasted 75k, the other one got sold with the car at 50k, and I just bought a replacement set for Altima....just hit 20k.
Very quiet, great in rain and snow. Highway driving 85mhp is supurb. Never had an issue. Balance very easily (at least my set) Highly recommend.
