I highly recommend the Dunlop SP Sport 9000's. Comes in the size you are looking at, but they are butt expensive at like $230 each. My 17's were only around 109 on clearance, but 190 regular price. They stick great! they are quiet, and make the braking in the tl so much better!
Otherwise, Bridgestone RE730's are great too, but also over $200 each. These would have been my first choice, but my Dunlops came in way too much less for me not to get them. If price is a factor, I've heard som good thnigs from my S2000 friends who run autocross that the Kumho's are very inexpensive, but do really well as well. (see: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/ecsta.html)
Good luck!

I have been through everything with those tires...they handle better than all the others I had...rain and all, they are superior to everything "I" personally owned.

I'm not sure about the Nitto's.... They're way popular that's for sure, and affordable too.... Can't go wrong with the Michelin Pilots... Bridgestone is great too. Yokahama, dang good tires too. Look at tirerack before you order, they've got reviews from the owners, it'll be another good source for feedback.
