A friend runs Michelin TB5's on his porshe. He raves about em.

I personally want to try some road legal racing tyres like the Avon ACB10-Sport series.

Try finding TB5's in any sizes that resemble road wheels :(

Try Dunlop Sp9000's - they are very grippy in the dry and fairly good in the wet too. Don't wear away all that quickly either :)
