I've gone through a few sets, and settled on the Michelin Pilot Sport AS/3. I believe the current set is AS/3+.
They wear much better than the Continentals or the Bridgestones, the grip in the dry is comparable to anything else, and in the wet is noticeably better than the competition.
Noise wise, they seem to be slightly quieter too.
I expect about 30k out of the fronts, and close to 20k out of the rears. Not too bad in my opinion.

Conti Extreme DWS all season, which seem a decent compromise between the Summer tires, performance and all season driveability, just in case I want to use the car for Thanksgiving or Easter, anywhere from ATL to NYC.
I use them on every car actually, for these reasons. I simply don't drive any of these things to the max where I need the max performance summer shoes. I'm more likely to find myself in 40 degree rain in mountainous twists, than I am drifting through a corner or going 140mph.
I see 25k out of the rears, and end up replacing the fronts on time (5+ years).
Cheers,
maw
