Default Replacement Tires

I need to replace the tires on my 2001 Z06. The Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar tires weren't very good and are rated very poorly at TireRack. I've had 2 sets of Michelin PS2s that were great but they appear to be backordered or discontinued. Plus $1,600 for a set of tires that last 20,000 miles is pretty expensive. I'd like to go with the Michelin Super Sport tires but they aren't available in the stock sizes. I'm looking for suggestions on tires that will provide good performance, fit the stock wheels and are "reasonably" priced. Thanks.

295/35-18 and 275/40-17 PS2's (I know stock is 265/40-17 in the front) are in stock and that's what I would recommend. That said I would not be surprised to see the Pilot Super Sport available in Z-6 sizes in the spring as well as a couple of other options

What did you end up with? Not a lot of factory size options.

I need tires for my 2002 z06 and I am thinking Bridgestone re760s.

The big question is how do you drive your car?
