Default RE-11 OR Mich Pilot Super Sports????

So I need to figure out what tires are going on my soon to be 19's. I did a search and found lots of good reports but nothing really comparing these two.
Sizes will be 265/35F and 305/30R as they match tire height perfectly.

Car is dry sunny day only. Excellent handling and traction are most important.

Both of these two tires listed seem to get very good reviews so I want to hear from those of you that owned them on which is a better tire for corning and straight line traction on the street.

Visual appeal is also very important. Not so much the tread pattern, but how the tire sits on the rim. I am going with 9 and 10.5" rims to ensure i dont get that stretched tire look. Cant stand that.

If there are others that are in this performance catagory that I missed let me know. I omitted the Invo's as they dont seem to stack up to these in the traction department from what I've read.

Having been with the Porsche crowd before selling last year, the Michelins are the tire of choice. Nothing wrong at all with the Potenza but if you asking about the best, I would prefer the Michelin. I loved them on mine. Looked fine too. Have fun!!
