Depends on your budget. You can go with General Exclaim UHP at the low-end to Michelin PS2 at the high-end.

thanks FrankiE90 for the tirerack advise.

I read some info of michelin PS2, they are rated very high.
But can you feel the difference with a high-end tire than the general one?
Is it so important to have a nice tire?

Thanks

+1... I was going for the same. Michelen Pilot Sport gets it. GREAT TIRES, just a little pricey.

I am looking for a tire that have a combination of comfort and performance. As I heard that sp2 is a bit noisy and harsh. Any recommandation? Thanks

You need to get some Falken FK452's then. Don't do Generals, too cheap, and PS2's are too expensive.
