Thanks for the comments so far. I have never tracked my car and really never push it to its limits even though I like spirited driving and like to accelerate hard. I don't drive much in the rain, but wouldn't want to have a tire that handled really poorly in wet weather.

BTW- The tires I'll be replacing are Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS all season tires on the rear with about 15000 miles on them, and Dunlop SP Sport 9090's with about 25,000 miles on the front. (yes I know, I know they are mismatched). I want to get great handling and a reasonable amount of tire life this time around since its time to replace both the front and rears.

Keep your suggestions coming.
