+1 this gets my vote.

IMO v12's are junk. No traction and they don't last long. BFG makes good tires, just pick the one your budget allows for

Kind of too bad that the Michelin PSS doesn't come in sizes that are 27" tall until you get to 19's. Yuck.

I would seriously look at them in 265/40-18 for occasional autocrossing and street tire track time (where the car's overall appearance counts for zip, zilch, nada) though.

Maybe if their new Street Comp proves that MT can think outside the world of straight line driving a quarter mile at a time in good weather.

Tires that have their compromises made to favor dragstrip results tend to give up performance and/or behavior in other driving situations

I recently put Michelin Pilot Super Sports on my 2013 Mustang GT Convertible. I had Pirelli PZERO Neros on the car (They had 6500 miles). The car has KONI Yellow adjustable shocks and struts and Ford Racing front and rear sway bars. The Michelins have noticeably better grip on fast tight corners and are quieter on the road. I haven't had them on the track yet but I will soon.
