Default Which Tire To Run

I'm looking for a good all around tire for the summer. I need grip off the line but I don't want to worry about driving in the rain. Let me know what you guys think.

My Nittos work really well in all weather during the spring and summer months... I'd get the drag radials for the rear, then a good Nitto street tire for the fronts. I have Nitto 450s up front on my car, with 555Rs out back.
