Need new tires for my daily driver

So it's time for some new tires. My daily is a 1998 Honda CRV. I'm looking for tires that are good on the highway, quiet and good in wet traction. I drive about 200 miles a week and spend most of the time on the highway. I was looking Cooper CS5 grand touring, Michelin Defender, Bridgestone Eccopia, Falken Pro Touring A/S. The tire size is 205/70/15 so I don't have many options.

Thanks
 
I really like the general altimax RT43. We just put them on the wife's DD. They have gotten really reviews.

We had the ecopias and she hated them. Felt like they slid all over.
 
Dave:
Running a set of Pirelli P6 on the DD that are almost 2 years old. Last month got a non-repairable flat and had to get 2 new tires (rolling circumference and Gen 4 Haldex AWD). P6 no longer available so settled on a pair of Pirelli P Zero Nero. No complaints with the P6's and no complaints with the P Zero Neros. Good all around daily tires. These are all 245/40R18, not sure if they are made in your size.
 
i have used faulkens, and kuhmos mostly recently, and they have been excellent tires for both city and highway driving. and they also work well in the dry or the wet weather. i have a different brand on my merc right now, i want to say yokohamas, and they are doing well also. i have also used BIG O branded tires as well.

i have also thought about generals and cooper tires in the past, they always received good rating from those that have used them.
 
Good tire on a price point is that Cooper you mentioned. Just put them on the wife's Venza replacing a higher end tire. Rides good, handles good, price was good, etc. May not see the 70,000 miles I saw on the last ones but expect to get close enough to more than offset the cost.
 
Go to Costco. They sell Michelins that are rated for 80k miles. I used to drive over 25k per year n they were beautiful
 
I just got new tires for my daily driver, because they were 7 years old and dry-rotted. They were rated for 70k miles, and I had 67k miles on the car at the time and the tires had plenty of tread left. The mileage ratings for tires nowadays are often longer than the tires will last due to age. So...if your yearly mileage is 10k or lower, you really don't need an 80k mile tire.

Geez, when I began driving, I remember the bias-ply tires barely lasting 10k miles, and having to get new tires once a year! My, how times have changed.
