Continentals !
Never used them myself but .....

According to most on here Mich P3s are the best all rounders !!!
Cost a bit more ...but sound worth it ...
That's what I'm getting for everyday use next !!!

I used them on my daily car without problem but they are not great tyres if you expect that...

Save up some money and go for the ps3 or Toyo T1r

Premium contacts are usually the normal all rounders fitted to quashkis eg
Contisports contacts are there better handing focused tyres.

But as said them mitchelin ps3s are brilliant tyres, I've used them on my mondeo since I got it 5 years ago and they are a brilliant tyre, when they get warmed up you feel a huge increase in grip they feel awesome once they have some heat in them, don't last long around 10000-15000 generally normal driving.

LOL That's took me ages to notice why you put that, I was thinking don't continentals prefer all them weird pepperoni and sausage things over salad.

Conti sports are easily as good as ps3.

I run the sport contact 2's and the wet grip is almost as good as the dry grip. Conti sport contact 5's are also very good and are A rated for wet.
