Default Tire Question??? Best Choice?

I am looking at Michelin Pilot Sports for my 2000 Vert with 400 + rwhp.
295/35/19, 2 with 70% tread for $200.00 or?
2, 305/30/19 Pilot Sports $270.00 with 7/32nds left? or ?
2, Pilot Sports PS2 with 7/32nds left for $355.00.
Tire guys, tell me which is the best buy for the money.
Thanks
PS: Any thoughts on the Continental 295/30/19 tires ?

Assuming you are replacing all 4 tires now...the PS2's would be the ones to get.

The 295/35 and 305/30 Pilot Sports are no longer made....so unless you already have Pilot Sports on the front now, next time you need rears, you probably won't find a matching replacement, and will have to replace all 4 again.

Thanks, You make a good point on the PS2's. I am wondering if they bite as well as the Pilot Sports before them? They definetly have a very different tread design.
