Down here in FL, with our generally dry conditions, I run WTB Velociraptors. They work well in a variety of conditions. I've run a ton of different tires and just keep going back to the Velociraptors. The fact that you can usually find them on sale for about $15 each doesn't hurt either.
As a matter of fact, I just bought the NanoRaptors (2.4's) that Performance had on sale. Nice grippy tires, but HEAVY! I could definately feel the extra weight. Good workout though!
