Well, it's time to change my original set of tires. they have 10K miles and 2 track days on them. Any recommendations other than the original ones? The only options I see are Michelin Pilot Sport ZP and non ZP. What's the difference? I have heard a lot of negative things about the run flats. I do like to tranck a few times per year and drive a bit on the hard side. Thanks in advance.

I think the Pilot Sport Cup tires come in the factory sizes, but those are definitely more track than street. I have heard that they are terrible in the rain - but I have no experience to back that up. Do a search on these forums and you can probably learn more...

I switched to the non run flat PS/s and the side wall flex was so bad I had to take them off and put the run flats back on. The grip was much better, but no matter the pressure, if you tapped the wheel at 70+ mph the whole car would sway and almost break loose. I kept upping the pressure all the to 50psi and it still didnt cure it. Horrible
