Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec tires seem to get rave reviews.  Probably what I'll go with when I get new summer meats.

The star spec and re-11's are probably the stickiest street tires you can find but at the cost of tread life, i decided to go with the f1 gs-d3's for my summer tires. For autocross i have hoosiers :)

Got'em on the redline VUE and run'em year round.

Of course down here Winter rarely brings frozen precipitation of any kind.
