Tire suggestions?

My tires are coming due for a change. When I bought the car, it had Riken Raptor 205/55ZR16 tires. I have been pleased with them, too. However, one of the local tire dealers said that they recommend the Toyo Versado LX. It has a 400 treadwear with an H speed rating, AA Traction and A Temp rating, but with also a 70,000 mi warranty. (I think) I know that the mileage was up there. The Rikens have a 340 or 360 treadwear with AA/A ratings, and are made by Michelin.

I have a somewhat agressive driving practice, but I want something that will last long, have great traction wet or dry, allow me to play to the max speed with my bug, and let me have winter traction, too.

Any suggestions to change or replace with Riken again?
