4. Yokohama AVID S/T street radials (DOT)

The Hoosier Street TD belongs on that list as well. It's a bias ply with all that comes with that, but they grip like a gorilla and are worth consideration if you can deal with a bias ply tire.
I have two sets of wheels, Hoosier TD's on one and Yoko Avids on the other. The Yok's have great manners and good performance where the Hoosiers have poor manners (follow the pavement irregularities and such) and Great performance.

If you search, there is a lot of information available here about them.
