So far I've had good luck with the Falken 451s, they seem to have pretty good grip (both straight line and turning) low noise, and they do well in the rain
$115 each from discount tire direct

Well,I ended up getting the BFG's....and they are GREAT....Grip really well dry or wet,fell real stable and stiff I like them ALOT!!

THey blow my Toyo's out of the water...the BFG's grip better on wet pavement better than my Toyos did on dry lol

Try a set of Bridgestone Potenza's RE750's. Little more expensive though.
