Lookin' for new summer tires

[John_Ewald.Seattle@xerox.com]

I would like some advice and opinion on the selection of new tires for my S4:

Seattle has a wonderful [ly short] summer during mid to late July and August
where the roads are dry, then it sprinkles a lot most of the rest of the year
(wet) and some serious water at other times in the winter.  Looking for great
wet traction, decent dry FUN, and minimized freeway wheel track walking (if I
can get it).

Opinions?

  225/50R16 on 16x8 factory rims

  Dunlop D40M2, SP8000, SP4000
  Bridgestone RE940, RE71
  Michelin ??
