It all depends on what you want out of a tire that defines what a "good" tire is.

Here are some suggestions though:

Falken Ziex ZE-512
BF Goodrich g-Force Sport
Yokohama AVS ES100
Pirelli P400 Touring
Pirelli P3000

I've had the Pirelli's and they're good for an all season tire. I've read some good things about the other 3 and I've ridden in a WRX at an auto-x with the Falken's and they're prety good.

Well, I need something with high grip, not too worried about tread life, I am doing track work so i need a fair bit of grip, and it has to still have good wet weather ability.

There's not much available in the 60 series as far as high performance tires go, you could go with a 205/50/15, there's alot of selection in that size. The Khumo MX is a good one. That size will cause the speedo to be off, but it'll gove you better acceleration due to the lower gearing it'll give you. Also Toyo T1-S'a are available in 205/55/15, they'd be worth a shot.
