Great all-around tyres I really like is Michelin (kinda like Honda of tyres).
Michelin has proven to be my favorite as well.

I've had 2 sets of auto tires that lasted well, didn't crack, and held decent traction throughout their life.

Currently running Power RSs on my SV and they have been very good also, though they like to be hot. Next time I'll be going with Road 5s most likely as I have a hard time getting the RSs up to temp in most of my riding.
