Default Tires and Wheels go round and round. (Help)

Okay, I did the search thing but there was no info pertaining to my situation. Unless i missed it but there are ALOT of threads on tires.

Heres my Tire.


Yes thats a hole in it.


I need to replace it soon. All my other tires are good. But I decided to replace all of them.

I bought the tire warranty from Lexus and I want to keep it.
It states that I can change my rims if they are the same size as stock.
So which aftermarket rims are stock size.

Also, Which tires do you guys recommend. I need a quiet all season tire with good thread life.
I was looking at Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position
But i cant find where the average thread life is.

Oh, I want tires, rims, alignment, installation all done for around 2k.

I know nothing about tires except that you need them to drive....

-Thanks, Kenn

I have Toyo Proxes 4's on my 350. The treadwear rating is in the 400's, but they don't seem to be all that quiet. The OE Dunlops I had on were quieter IMO. Overall, for the price, I would say they're not a bad tire.
