Shopping for 17's

I've been looking around for a good high performance tire that's sticky, can handle wet and dry road, comfortable, good tread, and little noise. Checked on tirerack.com and narrowed it down to three choices

Toyo Proxes 4
Yokohama avs
General UHP

Does anyone have any experience with these tires??? Also has anyone bought tires from edgeracing.com, they have some good deals, but i don't know the company. Any input would help

Toyos and Yoks are good, but don't know about general.

What brand of tires are you guys riding on?? I'm leaning toward the toyo proxes 4, but the yoko's are tempting. As for the general tire, sport compact car gave it a good review, tire also received good reviews on tire rack, just keeping my options open

Thumbs up Sumitomo 17s

Just went from standard 16" MXV4s up to 215/50r17 Sumitomo HTR+ on my '05 Accord EX 4cyl, manual.
Tires seem sticky enough for here in Charlotte, and are great in city driving. Had them up on the Blue Ridge, and felt pretty stable.
Went to these because my wife's V70 had them whem we bought the car(used), and she loves them.
Bought local, but also try Tire Rack.
