I would recommend Toyo T1-S (or the new T1-R) or Goodyear F1 GS-D3. Btw, your Proxes 4 and P7000 pricing are very expensive.

If you live in LA, then probably you dont need A/S tires. You guys dont rain a lot (except a few months ago!).
I guess Tirerack should be the place to order. Call Luke and tell him your budget, he must be able to give you some suggestions based on your numbers. The only brand that TR doesnt carry is Toyo, which you can get it from me.

The Toyo T1-R is the newer, revised version of the T1-S.
I just checked the prices (1010tires.com). In US, the T1-S is considerably cheaper than the T1-R while in Canada, they are almost the same price.
If you're in Canada, it's a no brainer to get the T1-R. In US, you probably have to decide price vs newer technology. Furthermore, you have to consider that you may have a hard time looking a T1-S replacement later on.
