I'd consider Firestone Firehawk WideOvals... or Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD-3's... both are awesome summer tires, the wideoval is newer, but the GSD-3 is a proven performer...
Also check tireracks survey, and just see which tires ranked best in the categories most important to you, like noise, treadewear, wet traction etc.
