I have T1-R's on the rear, and PS2s up front. The PS2s were left over from my old M5, and I put them on when I developed a bubble in one of my T1-Rs. Both are excellent tires, and are priced that way.
I ran HTR ZIII's on my CLK55, and was very happy with them - very hard to beat for the price. I may very well go with them when it's time to replace my T1Rs/PS2s.
I also just received Falken FK452s to replace the Goodyear RS-As on my Magnum SRT-8, and will be installing this weekend. I'm glad to hear some good feedback on these tires, because there wasn't much to choose from in the SRT-8 sizes.

Couple weeks ago i threw on a set of Nitto NT05's and just want to pass on that these are a very fun tire for a really good price. Most of the tires i have gotten for my ridehave been between 1000-1300 for all 4 and I picked these up for around 800-ish. grip really well and have a nice footprint. Treadwear is 200. My only complaint about them is I think the sidewalls are a little hard, but is easily compensated by pressuring down a little. I have put about 500-600 miles on them so far and am REALLY happy with them.
I like them almost as much as my old Toyo R888's I had. In some ways more, since these are much quieter then the Toyo's were...

I have not put them on yet, i have all four though. I'm really enjoying burning the rears. That is the reason for the delay. I'm no ready to stop the public displays of power yet. I ran into another forum memeber this morning he really likes these tires on his C63.

I just purchased the Bridgestone RE-11's to replace the PS2's. There is no comparison when it comes to off the line traction. With the PS2's I would really have to ease the throttle to avoid wheelspin. With the RE-11's I can be much more aggressive off the line and when rolling at about 15 mph I can floor it with very little wheelspin.
FYI, I purchased the 265 35 18. You can go for the 275 or 285 for even more rubber to the floor.
