Try TireRack and several other nationals with interactive web sites. Selection is/was limited in 21's, I'got about 26k on my MPSS's with about 2-3k left before I'm down to3-4 mm. Two keys to these ( and probably any high perf tire) alignment is big, inflation is 2nd, do every week cold and adjust. I believe 38# is about right based on my wear patterns. I do not baby the "Conundrum"; but I don't do " launches" either, I drive fast & hard. Last visit from Ga SP on I 95 was for 90 in a 75.

Michelin has a slightly grippier tire called cup 2 & about 8-9% more forecast tread life. Issue was they did not do a front that would work. I would avoid run flats, incredible hard ride & wear out 35% quicker

I think we're twins S34 paint?
