Which Brand/Type Of Tire Should I Buy?

I have a 2003 acura TL with 142,000 miles on it. I just replaced the shocks which helped the ride quality a lot. Now it is time to get new tires. I have the TL (not the type-S), so unfortunately it is hard to find many tires in the size 205/60/16. I was just wondering what tires you guys would recommend and also which category of tires you guys would recommend. (Ultra High Performance, Summer Tires, etc.) I live in California so snow or wet traction shouldn't be that big of an issue. The only tires in that size that are rated decently on tire rack are grand touring tires (Goodyear Assurance Comfortred) and I'm not sure if these tires are meant to be put on our TL's. Let me know what you guys think, thanks for reading.

use www.tirerack.com to see what other TL are using,,whats made that will fit
or 1010tires.com

ck local with americas tires/general tires or website- they beat any price!

you can go up a width to 225 on the stock rims if that opens the field

many of us went to larger rims at tire time--more 17-18 inch choices in performance brands

if you think wet traction is not important in Ca--you havnt been here long!!
when it rains it pours,,and pours and puddles and ponds and even tornadoes.(yesterday, not far from many of your favorite ziners in Sac area!!)

wet traction is actually measuring wet braking
thats when you really need it--to avoid the fool in front of you....
A is normal AA is awesome AAA I have not seen on a street tire I could buy~
