I am looking for Something that's gonna be great in dry/wet weather and that is gonna last me a good while I plan on doing 225/40/18 in front and either 245/35/18 rear or a 255/35/18 rear.

If you want something to last a while the RE760 is probably the only one on your list, the other 3 are Extreme performance tires and you won't get a ton of miles out of them, wet weather traction as they get older usually suffers a lot too.

So the RE760 is a good tire for what I will be doing?

I have never ran them but have heard they are pretty good. The Hankook V12 evo is very popular here also. Check out the Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric 2 and the Michelin PSS those were 2 of my other options.

The Michelins are on special at TireRack in 225/40 and 255/35

How much a tire, ~ the set ?

I got michelin pilot super sports in the stock size on the stock wheels and I couldn't be happier. Wet and dry performance is superb. Performance tires were clearly meant for this car, they have improved many aspects of driving.

I got them at discount tire, was cheaper than tire rack. Also cheaper than the OEM tires.

I've been running Toyo Proxes 4 on my DD. Pretty happy with them. I wanted something with decent life, decent dry performance, and good wet since it rains a lot here in Oregon. They were a huge improvement over stock.

I have the Nitto Motivo's and so far they seem to be a great performance tire. Very quiet and grippy.

I have those right now and they are an excellent all around tire, it is an all season though and will sacrifice a little grip to the summer tires.

I have Hankook V12 225/40/18 front and 255/35/18 rear tires on the same wheel the op has or getting. It sticks to the road pretty well and its not that expensive.

I went with Yokohama S.Drive's. Lightweight, quiet, decent dry/wet grip. Not a great track tire, but for street driving, it's a decent tire.

I highly recommend falken Azenis 453, not to be mistaken for the 452. And take my word for it, I do tires for a living. I've been using these for the past 4k miles and they have been great for highway travel, wet traction and amazing in dry traction.
