Default Tire question

Once I decide what wheel I'll get, I'll need to select a tire. I will be getting a 17" something to replace my stock Eagle LS 205/60/15s. I understand that there will be a handling improvement simply by going to a wider, larger and lower profile tire. I'm not an aggressive driver so ultra high performance isn't important. I do want to keep as smooth and quiet a ride as possible. Also, good wet handling is important but real all weather isn't needed as I'm putting Blizzaks on my stock 15" wheels. What do you guys recommend ? I only drive about 7500 miles a year ( over 2000 of that on the snows) so whatever I get will last me a while so I want to be happy with them. While recommending tires, what do you vote for between Moda R-6 and MM Evos ? Any other 5 spoke suggestions? Thanks to all who respond.
