Tirerack.com has some great rating sections. If you outside the snow belt, I would get Max performance Summer tires.

It rains a bit down here and if they are still made, I will get Goodear GSD3's. They are flat out the best rain tire I have every driven on. The sidewall has a bit more flex but on the street it is hardly noticeable....unless you are one of those @ssclowns that drive like an idiot on the street. I noticed a difference on the track, but I never drive more than 6/10th on the street. Just not worth it.

If rain is not a concern, there are many other great tires with stiffer sidewalls in the Max Performance category. Personally, I have never been too concerned with tire warranties.
