I've always used either the Toyo or Goodyear F1 GSD3 tires, which offer great performance and solid treadwear. I've never had any issues with either tire.

Falken RT615. Best dry grip tire out. Wet..grip begs to differ! Try micheln pilot sports for best of both worlds.

It would help if you told us your driving style, price range, do you track the car(if so, what kind), etc...

Not one person on this forum should be recommending you a tire without knowing how you use your car. It would be like creating a poll titled "What shoes should I get?" with no other description.

I agree with Nihalation.

But I will say, that if your looking for a good set of tires for the street, that can take some good amount of abuse, and are really good in the rain, then I would recommend Falken ST-115's. I have had them for about a year now, and with about 30k+ miles of abuse, they are still in really good shape. I do not track my car, I do drag race it though, and I enjoy drifting in empty parking lots occasionally. The ST-115's were actually discontinued a little while ago, but most major vendors still have a few sets on hand.

I paid $550 for all for tires, sized 245/45/18.
