Opinions on a good "summer only" tire

I'm looking to run the new HFP wheels only in the summer months and wanted to get a summer only tire for them. I was leaning towards Bridgestone primarily but wanted to get everyone's opinion. I do about 70% highway and 30% city/country (lots of curves....good for carving )

I run with

BF Goodrich G-Force Sport 205/45 ZR16 on SSR Comp C's - with a little suspension work you can get some ridiculous traction on dry roads.

I'm not looking forward to switching over to my 14 inch steelies with winter tires soon...

Depends on your budget I suppose. Summer only tires could include more racier tires like Falken RT-615's or get some Bridgestone RE-01R's or Yokohama Neova's. For me personally, I just got a set of 205/50R15 Toyo RA-1's that I'm thinking of slapping on. But I'm having second thoughts as I'm stuck in traffic most of the time anyway... LOL.

Thanks for the info and replies guys. I'm going to see what I can find on Tireracke to get an idea. How wide of a tire can i run with the HFP 16's?
