Firestone Firehawk SZ50-ep/RF (!). Great grip dry, and absolutely the best tire I have ever had in wet conditions. The run flat is a nice feature for me (no spare), and highly recommended. Sensors easy to mount and a light on the dash may save a lot of trouble. The tires are discontinued now but mine are still relatively new, so no tire drama for awhile. 285/40/17 and 245/45/17. Chose those sizes because they were the Corvette standard, making them relatively common if on the road. This is the same TPMS I installed, very pleased:
