Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's are going on the 02.
Bridgestone Potenza RE-750 are on the 01 - excellent dry, wet and wear.

Really depends on what you need out of your tires. Do you want super sticky or something that will last a while? Are you really concerned about wet traction?

I was big on wet traction and I got the BFG KDW's. Most people give them pretty good reviews.

Potenza's are pretty nice too. Toyo has some really sticky stuff as well if you don't mind a shorter life. Alot of people here rave about the Nitto 555's.

Go through the reviews at tire rack until you find something that suits your needs. There's no such thing as the best tire, there's just the best tire for your needs.

One of the most popular tires is the Nitto 555's. I've also heard good things about the Firestone Firehawks. BFG G-Force tires I've also heard are pretty good.

Toyo Proxes 4 All Season/Ultra High Performance are about the best all around tire and only about $600/set

I have tried almost every tire on the market, and the tire i like the best is the Toyo Proxy T1-S. It drives great in the rain and grabs hard when its dry, and is great for cornering. A set should be good for 20k miles.

What is a good summer tire? I live in Arizona so I dont see snow ever and rarely ever see rain. Tire life and performance are about equal importance, any suggestions what the best tire would be?
