Default need new tires, what to get though.

I dont need a snow type tire because I have Nokian Hakk 2's, I want a good tire that handles good and has a good grip.

I work at a tire warehouse so the brand will be a Bridgestone, Continental, Michillen, or Pirrelli.

Default Of those 4, I can say that I love the Bridgestone Turanza's on my 4000S

They are quiet and handle rain and wet roads amazingly well.

My other favorites are Yokohama Avid T4's. Just put a set on a '95 A6 Sedan in 205/65 15's. I used them on all of my "other" cars as well. The Bridgestones only wound up on the 4000 because it had 2 brand new ones and I just matched them. Glad I did.

so you want a high performance tire? an all season performance? an all season touring? a tire for max economy... what are you looking for out of your tire, and in what price range (retail price)?

Ok then, the kind is what im not sure about so thats why I asked, so the kind will fall in with the good handleing in the wet and dry range and somewhat quiet.

I'm not sure I understand your statement, but yes, the Turanza's are excellent handling, excellent in high speed wet driving, and they are very quiet. Other than being somewhat expensive, I would buy them again in a heartbeat.

I feel the same way about the Yokohama Avid T4's and only favor them due to price.

I know a guy with a Boxster, buys one set of snows every year and runs them through the next.
