tire recs for SL600 Renntech?`

I am finding out that my stock tires just don't cut it with all the extra power...what do you guys recommend for me: mostly a fun car, some freeway driving, no racing at the track, just on the street occassionally. mainly want better traction...thanks

What kind of Michelin Sports?
I'm guessing Michelin Pilot Sports? Those have a TSB on them.

Get Michelin PS2, they should exist for your setup. Highly promoted tire on this forum. Also for track use, think about getting wider rims.
