If you want to go non-runflat, you can't beat Michelin Pilot Super Sport. Awesome dry and wet performance.

Cheers!

I second that. PSS is an awesome tire and performs extremely well in the rain. If you're looking for more comfort and longevity, but still want to have excellent wet and dry performance, the continental DW is good and is of very very good value.

If you want to go all season, Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 is the best, but the continental DWS is also very nice as well but is a bit of a step down from the Pilot Sport. DWS should be better in winter snow conditions tho.

Have fun shopping! Good Luck!
