When I bought my S, it had the original sport contact 1 series on it with about 13200 miles.

They were also 6 years old so when I replaced them in spring 08, I bought the Michelin Pilot Sport Rib N1 series from the Tire Rack. Back then they did not offer the PS2 in and "N" rating. Now you see they do.

To be honest, I like continental tires and just put some on my wifes Honda, but I think Michelin is better suited for a high performance car and mine Pilots handle awesome.

Whatever route you go though, I'd say you would be happy, but I did research the reviews on all tires before my purchase, and I don't think the conti's came up to par for that particular model.
