I use Conti's. They won't give you the grip level of top-end tires like RE-11's, but they're still pretty decent performers (much better than their high treadwear rating would suggest) and they last a really long time, even with track events thrown in the mix.

A lot of people get confused about the models, because of the confusion between DWs (plural of DW) and DWS. The "DW" stands Dry-Wet, it's a performance summer tire, it's what I run, and probably what you're looking for info on. The "DWS" stands for Dry-Wet-Snow, and it's a supposedly-winter-compatible tire with a very different tread.
