I have Kumho SPT and they perform very well in both dry and wet conditions. I think they are a great bang for the buck. My size is 225/45/17 and they cost abot $85/ea. I'm pretty sure others will symapthise. Other brands/models that will probably be suggested are Hankook RS-2 (summer) and Falken Azenis (dry summer), but most good tires will be a welcome improvement over OEM rubber.
