Looking for tire advice... and where to buy?

[NaKoRuRu]

Hi guys/gals, need to buy tires. Currently, I am on Toyo Proxes 4. What do you guys recommend? Something similar to that is fine I guess, maybe something with good thread life? I'll probably just keep the same tire brand to keep it uniform with the other tires. I am having camber issue with my passenger rear wheel. I have about a 1 inch difference in thread life on the inside of the tire from my negative camber. I was looking on vortex and operantly mkv's have about a 3 degree camber adjustment screw. So i will have them look at it and adjust it when i buy the tire and mount it. Can you guys recommend a good place to buy and install? Looking for 205/45/16 :) thanks!

I am in the IE...:tup:

Forgot to add. Can I rotate the tire up front temporarily while i buy/mount? the rest of the tire is practically brand new still tons of thread left.

Man, I want to, but I'm scared they would look really goofy with my 205/45's... can you double check the spec's? thanks karl.

Opinions?

Importance (In this order):

1.Thread life
2. Noise
3. Traction (for those very few occasions were I'll auto x :P)
4. Rain driving/wet conditions (since we don't have much rain in cali, but don't want a shitty tire either)

these falkens rock in the rain, they have great read life, they are SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPER quiet, and i have done a few runs in the twisties when its dry and they are definitely compareable to my Dunlops for grip
