Default Q: Tire recomendations? - XP-8

Wondering what current owners like for tires on the Saleen XP-8? I live in South Texas, so don't have to worry about snow and ice. I would prefer a more car like ride than a truck type ride, smooth and quiet.

Please post with your opinions and help me out.

I'm running the Nitto NT420S all season. No complaints here. Nice looking tire, quiet so far (<6k miles) and reasonably priced.

Not that you have to worry, but it did just fine in light snow last year.

For ride quality it's hard to beat Michelin's.
Unfortunately it's not hard to beat Michelin pricing...
