help deciding....

Looking to purchase new tires by the end of this week.

Price is a major factor so after browsing tirerack:

1. Yokohama Avid V4S
2.Sumitomo HTR+
3.Kuhmo ECSTA ASX
4. Toyo Proxes (are these reasonably priced?)

Now if a few could chime in and tell me the pros and cons of each and say which is their choice, that would be a great help!

BTW looking for an All-season Tire

Well i went to a local tire shop, who said that they are discontinuing Yoko Avid V4s.... its being replaced by Yoko a430s.

At this point its a choice between Yokohama a430s or Toyo Proxes (not sure which one tho). Both will be the same price at around 160 each tire. which would you choose between the two.
