New 18" wheels ordered....need tire recommendations in 285/60R18's

I've got some 18" factory take-off wheels being FedExed my way as I write. Originally I was going to put Michelin Pilot LTX tires in 285/60R18 but unfortunately Michelin no longer makes these tires in that paticular size.

My choices in an all season street tread are somewhat limited for this size of tire but there are still some pretty good choices.

Some of them are:

Michelin Latitude Tour HP (Very expensive)
Bridgestone Alenza Dueler H/T Alenza (Balancing difficulty in the past)
Bridgestone H/P D680
Yokohama Geolander H/T-S G052
Toyo Proxes S/T

I'm sure there are more choices out there and I'm open to any sugggestions. The only criteria is they must have good wet traction, resist hydroplaning, relatively quiet, and the longer they last the better.

What tires would you mount in this size???

Out of those, I'd go with the Toyo's.
