GT Radial SX2 seem like they would fit the bill. Not 200TW grip but hold up to track abuse great and last a long time.

I am not having a good experience with the Michelins. Let's just say they are not a great fit for me and leave it at that. lol I am not mad at them and they are not bad tyres, but I am not interfacing well.

Sorry, I should have specified the Michelin PS4S, not the stock tires lol

HI,
I have very good results with Falken Azenis 615+ in 225/45/17.
I am using in for Track, agressive style. Good results on wet. Good pricing. I got a 2016 yr bacth at $93 per tire, shhipped no tax, from Tirerack.
Also I am looking for the SX2, probabyly I will try them next time.

As anyone who knows me can attest to, I consistently promote the RT615K+ tires. They wear well, provide great grip (great, not ultimate) and have amazing turn in thanks to the sidewall. I've had good experience in the rain with them as well. In my opinion, they can't be beat for the cost. Hell, just look at my avatar

Last track event, here in Houston, I saw easily 5 cars with the Falkens ( Miata, Lotus, Twin, Fiesta). getting popular. getting more expensive too.

I'm on 615K+ for track tires as well...not quite the bargain they were last year, but still a durable tracker. I'm thinking I might give the R-S4 or A052 a try when the Falkens are used up.
