HAWK HPS brake pads are the BEST I have used. EXCELLENT braking and little dust. GM Ceramics have very little dust but stop poorly and warped my rotors. Stock GM pads just dust too much. HAWK HPS pads stop better than ZO6 pads and dust MUCH less.
Tires are up to you.
Best run flat is probably new Michelin summer tire (used on ZR1), Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 ZP (Max Performance Summer)
Goodyear GSD3 is probably best non runflat.
General Exclaim may be best cheap non-runflat (not a good handling tire for high performance).
I stuck with Goodyear OEM run flats, they wear well and get 3 mpg better gas mileage. Also are widest tire in this size by far (look great).
Where do you live? Fill out your profile. Only runflat all season tire is Michelin ZP All Season Plus.

Hawk HPS pads are very good. For tires:
Runflats - Firestone Firehawks or Michelins.
Non-Runflats - Firestone Wide Ovals, Michelin PS2s, Goodyear GS-D3.

Hawks HPS on all four corners with Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 ZP on my 98. Great combination the hawk pads have very little dust and the tires have lots of grip with little road noise compared to other runflats.
