Default Best tire for TT? Hankook Falken Kuhmo Toyo??
Looking for as cheap as possible ( I don't drive the car much due to my 1.1mile commute to work. ) but a decent tire that if I get caught in the rain or wet under 32 degrees it can handle it. BTW, the car sits garaged and undriven for most, if not all of the winter.

The car is a 2000 TTQ 180 Sport Package 225/45-17

Specific tires I am considering. Thinking High Perf All Season is best choice.

Hankook Ventus Sport K104
Hankook Ventus Hrii H405
Hankook Ventus V4 Es H105
Kuhmo Ecsta Supra 712
Toyo Proxes Fz4
Falken Ziex Ze 512

Default not really considering the Goodyears....
The tire doesn't seem to have any performance or product benefits over similar tires for less cost. I believe Goodyear, like all the American companies, are saddled with legacy healthcare costs, driving their prices up, or quality down.

How are the K104s in the rain? Are they all-season?

Default Good, I have the same tire, and I really have enjoyed them.
Keep in mind I have only put on 5K... so, still pretty new!

Default no dunlop?
for the price range you're looking at...

check out these...Dunlop FM-901s...i ran them in the past and worked exceptional for the price!


-----
plug for Toyo T1's +++ gets pretty sticky, and holds grip very well.
and Michelin Pilots +++ takes some time to warm them up to stick..currently on my alms 18's.
