I put on Michelin Pilot Sports when bought new tyres. I quite like them. Only problem with the Michelins is after 30k miles they are 75% gone. The correct spelling of tyre got me thinking. I grew up where one bought "tie-errs" (spelled "tires"), and now live where they are "tars" (spelled "tires"). Its amazing this forum can bring together two nations divided by a common language.

Hankook Ventus V12 EVO2 K120, I put 4 on in January +/-$640 and have been very pleased with them.

I have about 4k miles on PZero Nero AS and they handle well. Not noisy, nice ride for a sport car tire. I really like continental extreme contacts, but they are not making them anymore.
