Default Tire recommendation for 03 .2 sport

Thinking of either Pilot sports or conti extremes.
Live in Lo Angeles so weather not a factor

Conti or Toyo. Pilots make the car like a go-kart, but ride rough and are noisy.

Default I think Pilots are the best option....

I have them and prefer them to all others I have tried.

If Pilots are not what you want (due to ride and tyre design), then Toyo Proxes T1-S would be a better choice than the Conti's. Toyos perform much better than the Conti's and the ride would be better suited to a daily driver (due to the tyres's design), than the Pilots.

I strongly doubt you ever had ContiExtremes on your car.
