I run the Kumho Mx and I think it is an excellent tire. It just so happens to cost less money. It hs a 220 wear rating and it sticks I think better than the Michelin PS2. Not all Kumhos are the same, The Mx is light weight as well. Tire Rack lists it in their extreme performance category. For a car that handles so well, I think that this tire is the best.

Generally the Pirelli PZero's are the best performance tires you can buy. They just came out recently with their next generation design. There an all summer and all year verisons. These are what normally come on Ferraris and Lambos, I havn't checked on the prices but I'm sure they're not cheap but probably the best you can buy.

I'll second the Kumho SPT. Not the best performing tire I've had on my car, but probably the best all-around value. Keep in mind, I've had ten different tire brands on my A4, and maybe 13 or 14 sets of tires. Also, the Yoko ES100 is a great tire. The ES100's successor, the S.drive, will be available in the U.S. in a month or two. That will probably be my next tire.
