If you're looking for performance, and to not have it "slippery" and in my experience, when the car is sliding its way easier to handle with good tires.. You should get...

1. Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Specs (200 Treadwear: My favorite, work GREAT cold and when wet, as well as perform amazing in warm, summer conditions)
2. Hankook Ventus R-S3 (140 Treadwear: Great for absolute performance when warm. If you're not ever going to race, not for you, but you'll notice the performance even when cold, but again not as good in the cold as the Star Specs)
3. Toyo R1R (140 Treadwear: Great tires when wet and cold and again hot and warm. But they're rather pricey.)

IMHO, if you want good, grippy tires get the Star Specs. If you want tires that will last but not perform, get Michelins, they make great tires that will last. For best of both worlds, look for a tire around 300-350 Treadwear rating...

(I can also give you info on race tires if you want it.... But you don't seem to race if you don't know how it should perform going around a round about lol)
