If you read the current issue of the British magazine "CAR", in which they select their annual Performance Car of the Year, their description of the C63 is quite telling: "the car just lacks grip overall!"
You've got PS2s on there already...I don't think there's another street tire that's significantly (or even minutely) better in terms of grip. The real trick seems to be throttle control more than anything else. Failing that, I do believe Bridgestone has some killer new tires coming out next year. Might want to look into those.
Hmmm...even the current Bridgestone RE-01R is already getting rave reviews.

Advan Neova AD07s, and AD08s when they release in Q2 next year. I've had the chance to drive on the AD08s already during the Yokohama release event, and they are AMAZING on the C63.

Be forewarned that the Pilot Sport cups have very little tread depth to begin with. With a little vigorous use, you will be driving on essentially a slick. Probably not a problem for the original poster in Saudi Arabia, but it makes for some pretty exciting motoring in the rain. I used Pilot Sport cups on a porsche I used to track. Had a few "exhilirating" moments driving home in the rain from the track.
