I’ve also used 26x2.3 Kenda K-Rads. A little heavier, and not a supple, but the tires wear very slowly. You can get a ton of road mileage out of them.
Pros: wear very slowly
Cons: a little heavier

Maxxis DTH come in 2.3! But I find the 2.1's to be bouncy enough - havent tried 2.3.
Pros: bouncy enough
Kenda happy medium is nice in 2.3. Fast rolling, not too heavy or expensive.
Pros: fast rolling
Cons: not too heavy
If longevity is more important than top performance, then I highly recommend Yokohama Ascends. We have almost 200k on our CC and mostly used Conti's with some others along the way. These Yokohamas are awesome and wear ridiculously well! We are in FL so lots of rain in the summer.
Pros: awesome, wear ridiculously well
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 200000 km
Tires I went with BFGoodrich g-Force COMP-2 A/S when I replaced the OEM rubber. They work very well in the dry and wet. I change to Blizzak's for winter time.
Pros: work well in dry and wet
I have General G-Max RS on my CC: 255/40-18 on a new set of wheels. It launches much harder than it did with the stock Continental all-season tires.
Pros: launches much harder
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I have really enjoyed my Toyo Versado Noir, it's a newer tire and I think it's a grand touring tire or touring if I'm not mistaken, I went 245 45r17 up from stock 235 45 and I like the beefy tires and it added a little bit of width. They're very smooth and quiet. I have never had hydroplaning issues even at 85 in heavy rain. The tires were tracking well. The only downside is traction from the power, I could break them loose with stock power and engine mounts with a dogbone insert. I'm stage 2 now and if I'm not careful I can spin tires at 30 from a roll on dry pavement. Like I said I can drive spiritedly and not have any problems, it's just the torque
Pros: smooth and quiet, no hydroplaning
Cons: poor traction with power
My VW dealer gave me a good deal on Hankooks. They’re pretty good. No complaints here.
Pros: pretty good, no complaints
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I had them on my Previous two cars (Acura TL, BMW 328xi coupe) and they were great. However, they wore pretty quickly and in my opinion weren't worth the $900 I spent on them.
Pros: great performance
Cons: wore pretty quickly
Vehicle:
BMW
I had the Ventus V12 Evos on my Focus ST, and I didn't like them.
Cons: did not like
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
