Help with Picking Tires

I need to buy tires for my WRX due to one of my sidewalls spliting apart and Im not sure what to buy. Right now its sitting on a 225/40/18 Falken Azenis ST115's. They have been good tires from what I have driven on them problem is noone in my town has them in stock. Right now my choices are looking at Fuzion ZRi's for $109 a tire, Dunlop Sport FM901's for $100 a tire, or Nitto 555's for a $111 a tire. Im probably going to just replace all 4 since its would probably be better for the AWD. Any opinions on those tires would greatly help since im having to get them on Monday so I can drive my Suby again.

I would go w/ the 555's. Heard alot of good things about them, and I was actually planning on getting them, but ended up deciding on Pirelli Pzero

Wow--those are some pretty inexpensive tires! I just bought some 18s and am trying to decide what tires to run on them. I am thinkin about gettin some Yokos...and they run $160/each.

I get a pretty good discount on tires from my job. Ive ran on Yoko Parada Spec 2's for a while and I like them a little loud but not unbearable and they griped well I would definalty recommend them but I know you can find them cheaper than 160 if you look around.

I have 16s wrapped with Yokos on my car right now. The Yokos have mad grip, which is why I am leaning towards getting them for my 18s.
