Because of this I just set my size goal to 275/35 and 305/30 ~1% difference in diameter.
Anyway I narrowed it down to 2 choices (Feel free to recommend something if you want)
Michelin Pilot Super Sport 96Y 300AAA & XL 102Y 300AAA $1,320
Continental ExtremeContact DW 100Y 340AAA & 102Y 340AAA $1,068
It seems the Conti ones are just as good or better then Mich ones and are noticeably less expensive. What do you think?

Where are you finding those prices? I'm looking now for stock Nismo wheels remember 19" not 18" unless you have aftermarket. I ran RE-11 in 265/35/19 Front and 305/30/19 rear all last rear with the majority of that time on the track or commute to and from. Really good tire and my rears still have a bunch of tread on them. I wore the outside shoulder about mid season on the fronts and had to by new ones.
I'm currently trying to switch to a track only 18" set up and have been looking at the Toyo R1A and the Nitto NT-01 for my first foray into the 100 UTQC category.
The Bf Goodrich Rival is adored by our local Auto x club and this year they make a 285/35/19 for around $300 a tire "Tirerack" I have no experience with them though. RS3 is supposed to be "THE TIRE" to get but, they are on back order until April Mar time frame.
For me if the 18" setup doesn't pan out then I can run a few events on my RE-11's and I will go to the Rival or RS3 to try something different. If I go 18" the skys the limit as far as choices are concerned.
