I'm currently driving on a set of Toyo RA-1's that my PO put on. The front's are about done and the backs probably have another 5k or so on them. I'm about to send my Fikse rims in to a local place to fix a few dents and get a good polishing and while they are in there I'd just as soon have them put some new tires on there.
Fronts are: 235/40 ZR17
Rears are: 255/40 ZR17
I'm looking for more of a touring type tire that rides a little better, is a little quieter and handles bumps and such a little better than the Toyo's that don't handle those well and have left me with a couple pretty serious rim dents. I don't track, live in a warm climate and really never drive the car when it rains. I don't really have a brand preference...just looking for something that is a good mix of performance and comfort.
Any suggestions?

The RA1 is a track tyre. I heard that the Goodyear Eagle makes a nice road tyre?

Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec has excellent ratings, but may be more performance than you want.
I have had a lot of success with my Sumitomo HTR ZIII, for a budget tire. I also liked the General UHP Exclaim from a ride quality perspective (also good value).
That being said Michelin PS2 are in a different category and you pay for it.
