Mate,
Your signature doesn't show where you're located. In Australia, all I need are summer tyres/tires. There are lots of posts regarding tyres. I've had both Michelins and Pirelli's and I've been satisfied with both. Do a search. Tyre posts are nearly as common as "what oil should I use" and "which battery should I buy".
If you have a red car then you will need a tyre with a higher speed rating because everyone knows that red cars are faster!

From my own experience the Dunlop Sport Maxx is real good, pefect compromise between comfort and sport, Continental Sport Contact is a little bit better (at rain) but expensive.

The series of RE760 Sports were replaced with a model that was not quite the same in terms of treadwear and daily driving including rain grip. I tried to buy the same lol.
