I'm a huge fan of Goodyears. I've got Eagle F1s on my Saab (junked Conti Sport Contacts for them - no regrets). Quiet, comfortable and with prodigious grip even when the roads are running with water like rivers. Even with 260hp through the front, they hardly ever worry the traction control. My fathers BMW 1 series has the EGs. Very similar characteristics, though they obviously major more on economy and a little less on "ultimate performance".
