[s-cars] tire question

Folks,

I need to throw a set of tires on my '99 A6 avant. I've been running 
Toyo Proxes, 245/40/17 size, on an upgraded suspension (Bilsteins, H 
Sport bars, stock springs)

I am looking for three season tires. I run dedicated winter tires on 
separate rims. These tires cannot be pure summer tires, as I will run 
them in the spring and fall, and they may see a flake or two in those 
seasons.

I'm thinking about the Bridgestone Potenza RE970 All Season. They 
replaced the 960, which were pretty well regarded.

Is anybody running these tires for similar use? Does anyone have other 
recommendations?

Has anyone run the equivalent Falkens, the Azenis PT722? They're not on 
tirerack.com, so I don't know much about them, except that they are 
about $50 less expensive per tire...

Thanks!

Lee
