Default Need some help with tires - '14 GT/CS in FL weather

I have a '14 Mustang GT/CS (manual) and it came with the tires below:
Pirelli P245/45 ZR 19 98W M+S

My GT is a daily driver; no racing/track or crazy driving.
But I do drive it a lot, about 20k miles/yr. It is not my only car but I figured I am not saving miles on the car for the next person.

Also, my tires kind of look "lowprofile" - like they are aren't big and bulky. I'm afraid I am going to pick a tire to makes my mustang look like a truck with big tires. Is this possible or is that would the size is all about (P245/45 ZR 19 98W M+S)?

I live in FL so snow/ice are not a problem - just heat and rain.
I was looking at these but would appreciate some feedback:
Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+

I live in Florida too and I just put on a set of BF Goodrich gForce Sport Comp-2's (not the all season version) and they are amazing. The road grip and overall performance is well above my expectations. They have a nice aggressive performance look that I like as well. These are summer tires for dry and wet roads but not for cold or ice/snow conditions. Check out the ratings on them at Tire Rack.

My last two sets of tires were Michelin Pilot Super Sports, now on Nitto 555 G2. Both tires are great. I love the Nittos I am on now.
