I'm a fan of Yokohama's, Pirelli's, and the Bridgestone Potenza line. My 1997 Olds Cutlass Supreme had GoodYear Eagle RS-A's on it, and while I only paid $9/tire, that's about all they are worth. I don't like 'em anymore. They are wearing so fast it isn't funny. And, now that they are down to 5/32" or so, they are starting to squeal going around corners, even mildly. That said, they've got good stopping power...combined with the brakes I've got, the car'll slap you against the dashboard if you're not ready for it.
My 1992 Pontiac Grand Prix has Bridgestone Potenza RE-910's on it, and so far, I like them. Only have about 1000 miles on them, as the car has been down for the last 4 weeks. But, they did ride well, and the short time I have with them, I went through some rain, some snow...not heavy, and they did OK. That said, I don't think I'll buy them again. I want something better yet. I don't know where to go, maybe Potenza RE-950's, but I don't know if they make them in the size I'll need.
