What Tires?

Need to order some tires in the next few days.
Was looking at some Falken Ziex ZE-512 Tires but everyone keeps telling me they have very weak side walls.
So i need to look at some other tires. Would like them to be All Season. Looking to spend around $400-$500 CND.
Specs are 205/60/R15.

Thanks

I've heard that the TOYO Proxes 4 are a good tire, although they loose traction when they heat up from hard driving, and I have no idea about their bad weather traction.

I'm looking for something with a "solid" sidewall.
Got any other ideas?

Take a look at www.tiretrends.com, it'll at least give you an idea of prices in Canadian dollars, and you can probably use it to get a local place to price match for you. Look at www.tirerack.com for reviews, it'll give you an idea of the performance of individual tires, they also do some tests themselves.
