Go to tirerack.com and you'll can see how different tires are rated.
If I'm right the Pirelli P-Zero Nero has the best results.

I reccomend the continentals. I've had no problem with mine on my M3. Not only are they usually cheaper, i've found that they perform better in wet conditions.

Continentals don't seem to have a long tread life. :driving

Go to tirerack.com, as others have stated, and do a search and check reviews. I have BFGoodrich's KDWS, z-rated all season. SO far pretty good, tho they seem to follow grooves in road pretty wicked.
The Pirelli P-Zeros seem to get the best rating. Thats what I'll do when these when the BFG's wear out.

Falken's, khumo ecstasa's (not the supras) and now perili
I have the perili nero m/s ones and I gotta say, after you break them in, they really are nice. Much quieter ride than my khumos I was running on, but the sidewall isn't softer than them in the least. In the begining, you'll think they REALLY suck, but give them a few hundred miles and your opinion will change.
Wet traction is absolutely amazing compaired to the khumos.
