Have a set of 18''x8.5'' IWC Quicksilvers. What tires should I get? Not too expensive or hard.

I am getting ready to order a set of IWC Quicksilvers and don't know what tires to use. I have had great results with the Nitto NT555 in the sense of they warm up quickly, ride extreamly comforatibly(nice soft ride, don't feel the bumps in the road), they were awsome in the rain(very important!), and they came with a 45,000 mile tread wear warrenty! I am looking at the Dunlop SP9000, the Yokohama AVS Sport...Any others I should look at. Are there any problems with the ones I have listed? Please keep in mind I am looking for a tire that fits the criteria of what I listed for the Nitto NT555.
Thanks alot guys,
Dave

:-) i don't hate the iwc's at all, actually

i just think people need to know both sides of the equation -- i wish someone had told me how much they weighed before i wasted hundreds of dollars on shipping costs. if unsprung weight doesn't matter to him, he'll buy them anyway (and love them). if not, i hope i've saved him some time and money.--
