Throw in a little rain and I dare you to pick Hoosiers...

I have Pilot Sport Cups on and they are many steps up from the OEM S-02s.

The RE-01R's are supposedly nice summer tires as well.

Stay away from all-season tires.

And swap wheels to Winter tires if you're planning on running when it's cold out.

Too little information provided...

you on OEM AP1 wheels, you on OEM AP2 wheels, you on custom wheels and their size, you want the tires for what kind of driving, your most important characteristic for replacement tires is, money matters, money does not matters, oh could I go on...

IMO:

Dry street perf: B'stone RE01R
Dry + wet street perf: B'stone RE050A Pole Position
Dry + wet street perf for less $$$: Hankook Z212 RS2 (I have these)
Dry + wet street perf with longer life: B'stone RE750
track perf: Hoosier R6
autoX perf: Hoosier A6
track perf + driving to and from track: Toyo RA1 (Kumho's = not durable enough, I've been through two sets of rears in three events!)
All-season: B'stone RE960 Pole Position

where are you located?

for a dry tire that doesn't cost a lot, the Kumho MX's have been good to me.

the RE-01R's are nice too, better than the MX's but also a lot more expensive. I can't wait to see how the new Bridgestones on the CR will be though.
