What would you guys get?

Bridgestone RE50
Falken FK 452
Yokohama S-Drive (some new tire they are trying to sell me at Discount Tire. The reviews on Tire Rack are very strong thus far.)
Continental Contisportcontact 3
Michelin Pilot Sport

Although not listed and not sure if they have your sizes but my Bridgestone Potenza RE760 sports are quite amazing, and look soooo sick

Go with Yokohama or the Falken - they are very good tires and they are quiet.

I have Michelin PS on my car right now and I hate them and plus it doesn't make sense to spend that kind of money on tires for our cars imo ...

These are what I have now because the RE050A's were tooooo much $$$ but they are great, had them before too. Go with the RE760 sports, bridgestone knows how to make round tires and I doubt anyone else make a autocross style tire with a 340 tread wear

Thanks for recs guys...I went with the Yokos S-Drive. I am very very pleased and it has a very aggressive tread pattern....looks great on the car and they handle well and are whisper quiet. I would highly recommend them. For the record the Bridgeys 760 doesnt come in 215 45 17 otherwise I would have strongly considered them. I have the RE50A on my 911 and its probably one of the best tires I've ever had. I agree with Chris and have become more and more disenchanted with overpriced Michelin Pilots over the last few years.

I'll take pics of these tires on the car this weekend after I change out my spring pads...going with #1 in front and none in back like the master Chris Pham!

Tire Rack is closing out the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S.
I got a set 2 weeks ago.

I agree with quicksolver500, Bridgestone FTW! But Because of the sizing issues I think you made a good decision. Just for the books, the RE760 Sport also has a pretty knarley pattern. The salesman at Firestone told me I could go with the all seasons and not worry about winter, or the RE760's and turn heads all summer long ...they really are an impressive looking tire. Glad your happy with your Yokos, drive safe!

It's not even the price of the Michelin Pilot's - its the darn thread wear! This year alone I've probably went through 2-3 rear sets of tires but damn they are good while they last.

Who's doing the install this weekend? Sounds good - can't wait to see the pictures.

That would be myself....that is if my Klann compressor gets here in time

Wow Cris, sounds like you've been having fun!
I'm sure I will be more gentle. Hey, I was upset to get less than 20k miles out of my Pirelli P Zero M/S.
The P Zeros were sticky, but hard to balance.
