Passenger, Touring, Performance, etc., which tire is "best"?

I am confused by tire classifications like passenger, touring,
performance, etc. Which one is 'best' for a 'normal' person---let us
say someone like me? :-)

(1) I drive about equally in city and highway.

(2) I live in an apt, with no room to store winter tires, so I do need
all-weathers.

(3) I value safety (good grip) most, then comfort/quiet, and tire life
last. For a safe and quiet ride, I wouldn't mind changing tires more
often.

(4) I live in midwest, there is some rain and snow but it is not
exactly arctic. Maybe 3 months of snow per year?

(5) I walk to work, so driving is mostly discretionary. Which is why I
know little about cars. :-). Other than getting caught in
unanticipated bad weather, mostly I can choose not to drive during
particularly bad weather.

Which tires, tyoe or brands or models, are best for me? 'Best value' if
you have an opinion? My car is Camry, tire size is 205/65/15. Thanks.
