General Exclaim UHPs. I've got a set on my car and they are great! Excellent grip, very quiet, and excellent tread depth. Great tire for the money IMO.

Well he said he's looking for summer tires because he's got a winter set already.

I bought the Yokahoma Avid Envigor's. I ordered V rated but H rated were what was shipped to the Tire dealer. Since i was leaving on a trip up north I went ahead and had the H rated installed. I'm not a preformance driving kinda person. They are GREAT so far. The week after having them installed I drove over 1500 miles and am very happy with them. Butter smooth at 70-80 Highway speeds. Since they are H rated/the sidewalls are less stiff. Really a great soft smooth quiet ride on the highway. Way more comfortable than the MXV4's. $478 out the door. They look great and cornering for my driving habits is fine.

I'm a fan of the BFG G-Force Sports. I've got them on my TL-S now, and had them on another car as well. If you want some nifty looking tread, the BFG G-Force KDW are pretty neat, and people seem to like them but the tread will get noisy as it wears down.
What are you looking for in a tire? Good treadwear, quiet, and a softer sidewall?? Or more along the lines of a grippy aggressive tire that you don't mind if it wears out on you in 10K to 20K miles????
