Maintaining stock tire size what to upgrade to...

As the title says im looking to upgrade tires here in the next month or two as my stock bridgestones are about toast! Wanting to keep stock tire size and gain a bit more grip at the same time with the compound of the tire.

Ive got my eyes on Pilot super sports at the moment

Info on driving style: Very spirited, runs into the Hill Country and looking at track days and Autocross (not worried about class)

what i am wanting:

Tire Manufacturer:
Model of tire, (i.e. primacy turanza etc.):
Why you picked the tire you have:
Review and thoughts of said tire:
Current milage on softer compound tires:

Just want a little help in making my decision and thoughts from people actually using the tires on the twins!

Discuss and try to maintain the format! Thanks

Tires I have used:
Depending on your Priorities..

AutoX > DD
Yokohama Advan AD08: Stiff sidewall and very responsive. Not the highest Grip available, but predictable drop-off when pushed.

DD > AutoX
Continental ExtremeContact DW: Soft sidewalls, but very good grip. What you loose in responsiveness you make up for in grip and DD manners. They are fantastic in the wet, and very quiet for being a Max Performance tire.
