also check out Hankook Ventus R-S3. Grippy with good treadwear, and when they get hot and loose they are still very controllable. I have the Falken Azenis RT615K tires on my backdraft and while this is the first go around with this tire, I have been impressed with it. My only complaint is that for as light as these cars are, when the ground temp is cool the tires have a really challenging time warming up and things can get dicey pretty quickly... but I'm still learning the finer points of driving a cobra.

Lastly, I am a fan of Michelin tires. I have Latitude Diamaris tires on my wife's supercharged Range Rover and even under a 3 ton vehicle with 500 hp and just as much torque, they never leave you anything less than confident and I was really surprised to see how many miles they racked up. Dollar for dollar I think you can get a better value in competitive products (Michelins' labor costs are higher than competitors) but you can't go wrong with the Pilots.
