out of those 5 i dont think i could pick one as i either dont know enough about them or think theres better tyres out there. for one i think the Bridgestone S0-2's are better, as are the Dunlop SP Sport 9000's and you cant go past a set of Michelin Pilot Sport Cups (the tyres on the M3 CSL)

What country ?
Tyres are subtly different compounds for different countries/continents :)

The Michelin Pilot Sport line of tires is the best right now. For ultimate dry-only (literally not even a drop of rain) driving I think the Pilot Sport Cup is the best tire.

We've had this discussion elsewhere in UCP.
car configuration matters - FWD, RWD, AWD, front/mid/rear engine.
Corner weights, front/rear balance and vehicle weight matter too.
Driving style also !!
In the UK on an Alpine A610 ( rear-engine, RWD ) the S-03 is well ahead of the alternatives for fast road, track and sprint/hillclimb.
