Hoosier A6!

For street, max dry grip with good wet grip (but iffy hydroplaning resistance past a few 32nds of wear)
Bridgestone RE-11A
Yokohama AD08R
Dunlop Direzza ZII

For street, wet grip and hydroplaning resistance:
Michelin Pilot SuperSport
Continental DW

Looking for USA-made, high mpg/low rolling resistance, ultra sticky compound, fantastic wet grip, even when driving over a mass migration of banana slugs, and most importantly - ultra quiet running. All at a super low cost point.

Hope this doesn't violate rules, but TireRack keeps a list on another Subaru forum.

@TajiThomas, do you care about wet and dry performance or just dry performance?
