I've heard nothing but good reviews of the Pilot Sport A/S3, but these are all season tires. I'd go with Super Sports if you wants summer tires.

There are some pretty good reviews out there on this stuff. Anecdotal evidence at recent autocrosses has suggested the Hankook RS3 to me:
Or Super Sports

I would like to mention that I have no idea what you drive, but the Super Sport is probably overkill. Is also 'spensive.

I have the Michelin Pilot Super Sports on my AMG and love them. Very sticky when warm. Still reliable when cold. Not noisy at all. Wet traction is great and they recover nicely if you do get sideways. The ride is more comfortable than the Yokohama's I had before.

LOL. My P-zero have heat bubbles and only have 10 000 Km on them (well, I did some lap days with them)

That sounds like quite a fun little car!

I dunno about dedicated performance tires, but as far as inexpensive sporty all-seasons go, I like the Falken Ziex ze912. My current DD came with them on, and although they made a lot of road noise, they had a great steering feel and good grip in damp (not wet) conditions. The tread pattern is also very pretty. You can get them at Town Fair Tire for a reasonable ~$90 each.

I have the Pilot Sport A/S 3s. I like them — very grippy, and wet traction has been awesome. Cons: noisy, and snow/ice traction is disappointing (by all season standards). They're good tires, but I'm not positive I'd get these over the Continental ExtremeContact DWS next time. I lean towards Michelin because they've always lasted forever on my cars, while the last set of Contis I had wore out after about a year and a half, but I'm not sure these have been worth the price.

I had heard from testing that the A/S3 wiped the floor with everything they put up against it. I've never been a fan of the ExtremeContacts but they do better in snow/ice.

I think for the most part they've lived up to the hype, for me at least. I didn't get them until November (and it was a pretty dry fall/winter here) so I haven't had a chance to really put them through their paces. The big question mark last year was how they would do in winter conditions, and from what I've seen people's experiences have been fairly split. I live in the southwest and we get maybe a couple of days of snow a year. It's obviously not worth it for me to invest in winter tires, so I was hoping these would get me through. They have, but I guess my expectations were higher. Definitely happy with these, though! No regrets.

These are the tires I'm going to be buying this year for summer tires. That was the easy decision. The hard part is my new summer wheels. But Bridgestone RE-11 was easy.
