Need new tires for 2008 Yaris

Hi:

My girlfriend has a 2008 Toyota Yaris and is due for new tires. Should I get them at Costco or where else would you recommend.

These are the tires offered at Costco:

Bridgestone - Potenza RE92 ($95.99 x 4 tires - $70 discount & $30 install discount)

Bridgestone - Potenza RE92 ($89.99 x 4 tires - $70 discount & $30 install discount)

Bridgestone - Insignia SE200 ($74.99 x 4 tires - $70 discount & $30 install discount)

We live in San Diego so I'm not sure which tires suits her car the best. Also are there cheaper places like Discount Tires or other places like that?

I would recommend the Bridgestone - Insignia SE200 as the Bridgestone - Potenza RE92 wears out faster as I heard and seen on friend's '07 Yaris sedan and she doesn't "WOOT" around in the car, just easy going civilized driving.

She is currently using the Bridgestone - Insignia SE200 and she's enjoying the tires and highway tire noise isn't that bad, slightly hearing them but not a real issues unless you don't listen to music while driving on the highway

I decided to go with what she had on her car before that lasted her 60,000 milles:

Potenza RE92

I got a quote at Costco for $437 out the door cost, but would have to wait 5 days since they had to special order them. I went to Firestone and they are matching the Costco price.
