Its going on the stock rim so something in 205/60/15. Around $100 too, give or take $20-$30. I have had the Bridgestone RE950's for 2 years now, I like those but I have dedicated snows now so I might as well get dedicated summers

I am really liking my Hankook K106's
I'll probably get flamed for this, but I am pretty impressed with them. Good, predictable grip, good treadwear (340) and look good too. All for $60 each (225/50/16)
I would also suggest going to the wider/lower size. It looks a lot better IMHO.
Its been raining a lot here, too, and the wet traction has been pretty impressive. I drove em in the snow a couple of times, and for an "ultra high performace summer" tire, they didnt suck too bad.

Toyo Proxes 4
<center><img src="http://www.toyo.com/tires/tire_lines/sports_car/proxes4_images/proxes4_large.jpg"></center><p>This is advertised as an all-season ultra-high performance tire. Don't let the all-season part fool you... this is a good tire. I think I paid about $125/tire for mine. I didn't want to spend the money for the Proxes T1-S or T1R.
I'm using them for summer only. I have a second set of winter wheels/tires.
If cost is a factor, you could also look at the Proxes FZ4.<ul><li><a href="http://www.toyo.com/tires/tire_lines/sports_car/proxes_4.html">http://www.toyo.com/tires/tire_lines/sports_car/proxes_4.html</a></li></ul>

Aside: tires are a bad place to go really cheap
Tires are the #1 product that has the biggest impact on traction/braking/turning/accelerating. I'm not advocating buying expensive tires. Just don't buy the cheapest ones because they are the cheapest ones. You'll regret it.
