Toyo T1R's. Great tires. You cant get a set for around $800. You have to be fast though, most of the time they are sold out by time places get them in.

I put Sumitomo HTZR III's on my '04 about 8000 miles ago and love them. Excellent traction, quiet ride and they are wearing better then my Goodyear Eagle F1's did. Granted they aren't runflats but I always keep a can of fix a flat and a small pump in the car anyways. If I need more then that I'll call a tow truck... 
At about $1000 installed from Big O Tires I'll buy them again

have NT555s. They keep the wheels from touching the ground is the best thing I can say about them.
Wet traction is poor.
Dry traction is "OK"
Noise is a bit high but not unbearable if you aren't a princess (which I am)
Ride comfort is pretty decent

I think these are the ones I am going after excellent global reviews.
Ultrac Sessanta's. Are they good n sticky for you? I live in the land of twisties and wont buy crappy tires. Anyone ever see what happens to a vette when a tire blows? Not pretty. When searching for my car.....If I saw hankooks or Kumho's (dealers usually) I was out of there!

The Hankooks are priced right and have gotten good reviews here on the forum. I just bought a set for mine but haven't been able to drive it much to tell just how well they do.
