Reccomend me tires to replace stock 17" 05 GT Pirellis

Or anywhere even close. Look for 255/50's as good replacements for what you have now. They're as close as you're gonna get to stock OD ( 2/10 of an inch) and will be a little wider.

Your choice should be based on driving conditions. If you drive in snow then you want the best All season rated high for snow. If you will only be driving in dry conditions then get a true ultra high performance tire. If you drive in all weather conditions then it's a trade off for traction vs performance.

For what its worth, the KDW2s are much louder running than the Goodyear F1 GSDs- which are super-performing rain tires- but since you are in CA, not sure if that is important really.
I like the Conti Sport Contact 2s. I have run all three "summer" types and I am a pretty hard driver with less than 50K.

I am running those right now for winter....they are cheap and are OK....i spin the crap out of them compared to the 285/40/18 KDW2s i have for most of the year but I do not drive that car that much in the cold winter weather.

I'm not going to argue that, but you do get what you pay for with tire (however I gotta add Michelins aren't some sort of oh my gawd I can't believe it sort of tire. People who purchase them expecting the second coming of christ because of price generally are very disappointed). I buy mine at Costco (can be comparably shopped at Tire Rack) so I dont get gouged on the name.
