For 540iTA. Touring with Sport Pkg.

This is our going around town and shopping car.
My wife drive it most of the time but I dig precise
handling and like to drive it hard sometime when I
drive it alone.

I use to have 97 M3 and had BF G Force on it last.

My daily drivers are 996 TT (rainy) and 550 (dry).
355 is my weekend car. I don't think that I'd
like the 540 to ride as rough and noisy as those
exotics though.

Any thoughts on a good compromise.

The SP9000 is a very good riding tire with excellent wet weathertraction and good mileage but it is not a Maximum performance handling tire in the dry. If your wife is the main driver she would probably love them. If I can help let me know.
