I second the Falken Azenis RT615k+ if you want to maintain the ride and steering, but want more grip. I have been using them as track tires and they have been fun to learn on.

If you want to soften up the ride a bit and lower the road noise, I recommend the Continental Extreme Contact Sport. I have been using them as a daily tire. They handle the occasional canyon drive very well too! They just are a little softer in the sidewall, so you loose some steering sharpness, but I think it still matches the car very well.

I am driving these both in stock sizes, if that is any help. Good luck!

i have the rt615k+ tires as well and they work great as a daily in southern california where it never rains. TBH though i'm not sure its worth paying the premium for them if you want to use as a DD. They aren't expensive tires, but 200tw will wear out fast. a $600 set will last around 20,000 miles with median type driving. Pilot super sports probably cost around $800 a set but will last almost twice as long and they are perfectly fun tires for performance driving, just not really suited for the track.
