Are there any Extreme Performance Summer tires that are Y rated for our cars?
I'm probably going to buy these Y-Rated Max Performance Summer tires:

I'd like these Extreme Performance Summer tires but they're only W-Rated:

Can anyone here point me in the right direction?

I can't say enough about the Vredestein Ultrac Vorti or Vorti R.
Y rated, quiet and ultra grippy. Performs well in the dry and wet. Highly recommend them and a great alternative to the Michelin Pilot Super Sports which I used to run exclusively. The only reason I decided to switch was the fact I knew there had to be something else out there just as good and cost less than the PSS.

Am I looking in the right spot? I'm not seeing 285s:

255/30 ZR 19
295/30 ZR 19
Also, I'm under the impression that "Extreme Performance Summer tires" are stickier than "Ultra" (which the Vorti's are) or "Max"... I'm really looking for something in that "Extreme" category as I've been happy with them in the past...

You'll notice I mentioned that I'm personally running the Ultra Vorti's in my previous post. You'll find 255/285 in the Vorti's. The E63 can run 295's in the rear.
Secondly, the Vorti's and Vorti R are considered on this side of the pond as "Max" tires. If you're looking for Extreme tires, you're aware you're sacrificing performance in the wet and tire wear. Look at Bridgestones, Toyo's, Dunlops and BFGoodrich to get your fix.

I misspoke earlier. The Vredsteins are in fact Z rated tires which is the highest speed rating for street tires. The Vorti's are rated in excess of 186 mph. Doubt you'll ever test that rating on the road.
If you're truly interested in "Y" rated tires, Michelin makes Pilot Sport A/S 3 tires (all-season). Not many other Y rated tires that I personally know of and can attest to their performance.

What tires come with the car? I'm sure that they have to be able to take the the 186 mph speed limit of the car or else why would you sell the car with them. But then again who's really tracking this car and actually going to go over 130 mph on regular roads.
