Default Summer Tire

i'm looking for a good summer tire (got a few sets of rims so no need for all-season) i like Falken RT-615's but i don't like the whole driving in the rain with them because its my DD

so what are some good tires out there at least decent enough in the rain where i won't be scared every time it rains, and money really isnt a option but i'd like to get at least 25-30k out of the tires

Sounds like you didn't bother reading the FAQ topic stickied at the top of this forum. Go there, and in the Tires FAQ section, scroll down to the question "What kinds of tires are there?" and read what it says about summer tires.

no sorry but they don't make kumho spt's in that size 205-40-16 is at least from tire-rack a rare size for summer tires, and no all-season junk still in my book not as good

Yes, they do. The Tire Rack doesn't carry them, but you can get the SPT in 205/40-16 for $77.40/tire at tires-easy.com.
