I have Toyo Proxes 4's. They seem to work well. What I really like about them is that they are W or Y rated (cant remember which at the moment) but also have a tread rating of 30,000 miles. I havent autocrossed with them or anything but they had more than enough traction on dry pavement and never hydroplaned even in down pour.

I run Kumho Ecsta ASX's year round. Stick like glue and barely have road noise...

Whats your price range? Theres a lot of good rubber out there, it all depends on your wallet, and what kind of performance are you looking for?

Screw theses all-seasons, get some summer rubber! ...just don't try running them in the snow..

I've got no beef with my Kuhmo Ecsta SPTs, especially since they're less than $100 a corner...very nice ride, stickythrough the corners, they break away predicatably andhandled great at the track...although they wore fast under that kind of abuse.

Check out the Avon Tech M550 A/S for a similar price range, about $110 a corner...I hear good things about them.

Dunlop SP Sport 9000s are very solid, if you feel like paying for them...$150+ depending on size.

Fuzion ZR1's are ok from what my friends say, and they're pretty damn cheap.
