Round tires work best.

Black tires....because black is fast.

You'll be happy with Michelin Pilot Powers. Excellent grip and they'll last awhile.

More good choices for great grip:
Pirelli Corsa III - Bridgestone BT002-R/S - Michelin Pilot Power 2CT

If you're near 07920 and need them mounted & balanced, send me a PM

What tires are you currently running prior to replacement? Grip characteristics aside you also have to consider the crown's profile, not all street tires are the same.
