Default need help choosing a new tire

2011 mustang 5.0 manual. I'm currently on pirelli p zero nero all season 235/50/18 . They lasted me 49k miles, it's my daily driver. I'm not too sure if to buy the same tires again or go with michelin pilot sport a/s 3. Any input would help, thanks!

Dunlop Direzza DZ101. They are a summer tire and have specific instructions to not use in freezing or near freezing temperatures or drive them so snow/ice. Since you are in southern cali it should be fine as long as you don't take your car to go skiing in Big Bear.

I have them on this car and they are very predictable when if/when they break traction. They also do give a fair better amount of dry weather traction than the OEM Pirelli tires could ever hope for. Wet traction is almost as good as a all season.

I will warn you these tires do wear rather quickly. I have about 10K miles on these and the front's are about 30% worn. The rears are about 50% I have a slightly staggered 235/50 18 up front and 255/45 18 rear so I don't rotate them.
