Default (opinion) Tires

I am in the market for some new tires and just wanted to ask personal opinions on high performance wet and dry tires. Which brands and tread patterns have you been most satisfied with?

BFGoodrich KDW2's. I have them and I have had no problems with them. Look at Discounttire.com they had the best prices.
