I have Continental ExtremeContact DW on my DD. Very reasonably priced and great handling.

I bought the Firehawk Indy tires. Real good on dry and not bad in the weather either. I'd definately buy these again. And I'm very picky about my tires.

Although I don't race my car, it does handle the backroads well with no screeching. I bought my wheels & tires from http://www.newstalgiawheel.com/?referrer=protouring/.

BF Goodrich g-Force Sport. Sticky and perform well in the rain. Real world tested last year in the Big Bend Open Road Race as well as a rainy road trip from Austin, TX to Estes Park, CO. Very satisfied!
