Buy yourself some good H-rated all-season performance tires from a good company like Bridgestone, Michelin, Continental, etc. Look for a treadwear rating of 400 or higher and be happy.
The speed ratings are nice but unless you do track days on a high speed track or get in autobahn time in Germany you do not need a V, Z or Y rated tire Several here recommend a General model (forget which) and my wife's 9-5 wagon is very happy and nice to drive on H-rated Uniroyal Tiger Paw Touring tires.
However, if you do mostly around town, lower speed driving your tires will wear faster than if you do a lot of highway. That's why we went with the Uniroyals on my wife's car instead of the much more expensive Bridgestone Serenity model. The Serenity is a fine tire, but my tire guy said for how the car is used 80% of the time the less expensive tire is better. And after 2 years I think he's probably right.
Roger is also right about speed ratings on winter tires. H-ratings are best for most of us in the US.
