You could most likely get away with summer performance tires or all-season performance.

The Bridgestones that come on the car factory are decent, though somewhat pricey. I went with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S3s for my DD in Florida, because of the great wet-traction, but they are not very cheap either. I know that there are other threads on here where people have listed cheaper tires that work well.

Micheling Pilot Super Sport

There is no doubt in my mind.

Potenza Pole Position S-04 are a close second.

Stay away from Sears brand, K-mart brand, Big-O (any brand), Hankook (han-cuckoo) of any type, Pirelli, Goodyear, Firestone, General and Kuhmo...

S04's, there's no doubt in my mind. (cost -efficiency). They are a very close second to the PSS. So close that the PSS isn't worth the price difference for 99% of the drivers.
Tire Rack online. The trick is finding someone to mount and balance them without scarfing your wheels.

chances are the S04's are pretty much the same but with better sidewall and tread appearance and comfort.
one benefit PSS has that i noticed is weight. they are quite a bit lighter than the S04's.

Continental DW, good mix of weather and performance and they're priced well

Never skimp on tires -- they are the only thing between you and the road...

^ That's right. You do not skimp on tires. Think about it. The turns, the on and off ramps, the lane changes, the grip, in the rain. PSSs FTW.
