Out of all these on the first page, what would you select?
I want quite and good wet weather traction.

Is wet traction and quietness the only requirement?
The ST115 is probably the quietest tire Falken makes
I currently Run the Continental Extreme Contact on my street tires. Decent tire, though I havent used them much in the rain but they seem to do well. They handled Light snow pretty well too (From the looks of the tread they would probably be the only tire I would want to use near snow, out of the ones choosen.)
Other wise if you want Maximum DRY traction the Yokohama AVS sport is the best tire out of the bunch. (may actually be pretty good in the rain too, from looking at the tread) Though I dont know how noisy they are.

For wet traction, quiet and long lasting (500 ware ratign, I think) I wouln't go with any of those.
Have you looked at the Yokohama's AVID H4s/V4s. I have those and they are quiet I almost want to say stock quality.

Well... they're not on the list, but I've heard about great wet/dry traction from Bridgestone Potenza RE950s and Goodyear Assurance ComforTreads and TripleTreads (http://www.goodyearassurance.com/).
I'd recommend Falken...I have had no complaints about my 2 sets Falken's Ziex 502's!
Here check out this article about the Falken Azenis ST115's to give you another perspective! (if you haven't seen it already)
