Tires for vamped e550

I just put in the Upgraded ECU from Renntech on my '12 E550 needless to say the power difference is immense!! 530 hp but I have to admit it seems to have lost some on the low end so 0-60 dropped to 4.3 lol well still took out a vette but is wasn't a ZR1 well now i'm looking for new tires to match my new speed. no speed limit anymore so rated output is 186mph. i'm in south texas so snow is not a factor whats really some GOOd tires to replace the OEMS? any thoughts?

I prefer Michelin Pilot Super Sports. They give great traction in wet and dry, I run them on my 600hp SLS

I was looking at the super sports myself but was torn with the bridgestone Potenza re-11, or the continental extreme contact. how do you like that ecu tune from Renntech? do you have the pipes also?
