Need summer tires - 2 Nokian Z's gone at 10K miles

Two of my Nozian Z's have basically worn out at about 10K miles. The Saab dealer (where I got them) was able to get some warranty $$ from Nokian, but not all that much. 2 tires down to 4/32, the other 2 a bit less worn but dangerously scalloped. '01 9-5 Aero sedan.
I had my rear shocks replaced when these tires had about 6K on them, and there wasn't any apparent problem then. The tech thinks the bad shocks were a contributing factor, but the parts mgr thinks the tires might have been defective as well.
Anyhow, I've got credit of about $40 per tire, and I can get almost anything the local distributor stocks. Suggestions have included Bridgestone Potenza Pole Positions ($$$$), Toyo Versados ($$$), Toyo Proxes ($) and Fuzions - whatever those are - ($). I liked the Nokians for their quiet ride and good handling, so that's what I'd like from whatever I end up with this time. Anyone have any current favorites?
TIA for your collective wisdom...
