My current summer performance tires (Nitto Invos) are getting real close to showing cord, so I did a bunch of research the last couple days to find replacements. These tires will be my summer daily drivers as well as autocross and track tires (I also have a set of all-season wheels for winter, and a set of drag wheels). I checked out every ultra-performance tire I could find (I'm using 315/35R20 on the back). The recommendations always seem to go back to the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s. Most sizes are available now, but my size won't be out until June. The next-best tire is the straight Michelin Pilot Sport (which I used on the front for a few seasons until I wore them out last year). Hopefully, I can get an autocross or two in on my present set until the new ones show up in June.
Interestingly, there are a few other variations on the Pilot Sport made specifically for certain exotics like Ferrari and Porche. The stats are the same as the other Pilot Sports, so I asked a rep and he said that they are basically the same tire, but they just cost more.
I recall checking on this size earlier and the price was around $800 EACH because they were used of Ferraris. The price is much better now.
