take a look at tirerack.com. They have a number of catagories that you can select from that best match your need. Then check out the survey results and see which tires are good enough and cheap. This should get you started.

I really like my KDWS tires. I have had them on now for a year & daily drive my car. Tread wear is great & so is wet/dry traction.

GSD3's are hands down the best wet/dry tire.

Can't go wrong with GSD-3, especially if you see a lot of rain.

If your looking for a quality tire go with the BFG KDW, if you want something cheap go with fuzion zri's.

I have Michelin Pilot sport A/S high performance all season tires. They seem to be very good in the rain and pretty good in the snow too. They are a little pricey. I paid 178.00 per tire installed.
