Default 18 inch wheels which tyre make to choose?

Toying with the idea of getting some P-WRC1 wheels. They sell them with or without tyres. They are 225/40/18. There are loads of makes available for this size from japanese to pilots, Pirelli, you name it. How do you choose and get the best for a WRX without making a mistake?

Read some posts in the Wheels/Tyres section, there's been polls recently for the best tyres.

I recently bought Toyo T1-S. Muich reduced tyres noise. Would've gone for Yoko Prada 2's if they were in stock.

IMHO you can't beat Goodyears F1's brilliant in the dry and the wet. I have 18's on my car and I can honestly say that tyre noise and tramlining is greatly reduced over the standard Bridgestones.
