Either the new Perelli Pzeros (not the old one) or the Michellin Pilot Sport 2.

I had Michellin Pilot Sport 2 on my Stage 2 C32 and they were one of the best tires I've ever tried . But I've heard the new Pzeros have better handling technology in them, so it'd be a toss up between those two

TREZ63- The Michelin Pilot Sport A/S is a decent all-season tire.
Fine for the ladies, but not ideal for getting after it.

Go with the PS2's. That's the Michelin you want.

There are some good options, and one would be to go with Pzero Rosso, or a wider rear and get the PS2.
