Since you live in Los Gatos (I lived in the Almaden area for 7 years), and as long as you stay out of the Sierras in the wintertime, I would suggest running summer type tires the year around.
As far as what brand, for average driving, I don't think you need the most expensive ones out there. Any brand name, medium priced tire should be just fine.

Yeah, I had never heard of Nokian... they're like $60 each on Amazon, so I don't think they are the most performance oriented tire. They're comfy, but not really satisfying in the twisty bits. Luckily the tires for our cars are relatively small and a squared set up... my Boxsters staggered 225/265s are another story... I'll have to do some research once that time comes.
Thanks again. Almaden area is awesome - I'd love to buy a house there or near Los Gatos, but housing prices have gotten even more ridiculous here recently. New townhomes built about 5 miles away from Los Gatos in Cupertino are going for $2.3 million... it's insane.
