If you drive in the rain a lot, you might want to look at the
Michelin Hydro-Edge. They are a little on the hard side for my
tastes, but if it's hot most of the summer you'll find that makes
them last longer. They won't stick to the road like a performance
tire and they're no good in the winter, but they are excellent on
wet roadways.

The Hydro-Edge is okay on gravel and dirt but if you live out on a
long dirt road you might consider something with better low speed
traction.
Get snow tires for winter.
